Oriented Nature Reserve "Torre Salsa"

A wet, cultivated area stretches all the way to the top of dazzling cliffs of the whitest limestone marl. At their foot, the beach plunges into a sea so turquoise and clear it moves one to tears.

Corpus Christi Artistic Carpet

Colorful sawdust, salt and sand in the summer of Calatafimi

Monte Monaco, in San Vito lo Capo

Umberto I Square in Palazzo Adriano

A magical place, Piazza Umberto I, in the Arbëreshe village of Palazzo Adriano ... that will remain forever immortalized in Sicilian director Giuseppe Tornatore's Oscar-winning masterpiece, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso

A necropolis, an ancient settlement, a sacred area and surprising artifacts: history from the Sicans to the Romans in Sabucina.

Cork Grove of Niscemi

A forest of cork oaks is located southeast of Niscemi. It is one of the few remaining vestiges of the original forests in the area. The oldest oak tree in Europe lives here.

Also called Manfredonico Castle, it almost blends in with the rocky peak from which it dominates the surroundings. Its rooms tell the ancient history of the Kingdom of Sicily, and quite a few legends.
