Serrara Fontana town extends over 669 hectors and has a population of 2,950 inhabitants. It is the highest town above sea level on the island. In fact, it stretches from the sea as far as the slopes of Mount Epomeo at 789 metres above sea level. The town is divided into the following: Serrara, Fontana, Sant'Angelo, Succhivo, Ciglio, Calimera and Noia. Each of these is typologically different from the rest of the island. A lot of the island's farming traditions have been preserved in this area and the modern lifestyle continues to reflect them. The land is hilly and often furrowed by deep gorges created by rainwater. Only Sant'Angelo lies on the coast. It is a little fishing village which has to be explored on foot.
