Porticello is a fishing port in Sicily, Italy, located between Palermo and Cefalu.[1] It is a frazione or village within the township of Santa Flavia.[2]
The village is dominated by the remains of the Punic civilization city of Solunto, one of the first Phoenician trading posts established in Sicily.[3] The city, which had been prosperous until then, was sacked and destroyed in the Middle Ages by the Arabs. The ruins still exist.
In August 2024, a storm sank the Bayesian, a large luxury yacht owned by the British tech entrepreneur billionaire Mike Lynch, while moored just offshore from Porticello.[4]
