The name of Bagheria derives its name from Bayheria that means place descending to the sea.
The first buildings appeared along the coast from xv century ,they were only watch -towers and around them all the farm labourers' houses were built.
Vines, olive trees, almonds trees and indian figs were coltivated in the area.
