Visit Mussomeli and discover the history of the hills of Caltanissetta
This small town in the province of Caltanissetta will really surprise you, especially if you are a fan of history and archaeology. It is presumed that this small village was inhabited ever since the pre-Hellenic era, because of the security offered by the shape of the territory, and the fertility of the land.
You can lose yourself in the narrow alleys of this village, in its authentic, old-style Sicilian character.
Here are the must-see attractions.
Don’t miss
Manfredonico Castle
In 1370 Manfredi di Chiaramonte inaugurated the Gothic-Norman style Chiaramontano Manfredonico Castle, built on a former Arab fortress, which rises up to 778 meters on a cliff.
Rocca Spaccata
If you love trekking, you can’t miss the hike to reach the rocca spaccata, a rocky body literally split in two. You’ll need an expert guide to reach it through the woodland trails.
Santuario della Madonna dei Miracoli
If you are near Mussomeli in September, you can’t miss the festival of the Madonna. The colourful procession starts from this small but characteristic shrine dedicated to the Madonna.
