What to expect
Lercara Friddi
Our tour begins from the predetermined meeting point, from which we will head towards Lercara Friddi. Here we will visit the Mother Church, which houses a unique collection of a thousand nativity scenes in its crypt. You will hear the echo of history resounding in the stone walls and the scent of incense pervading the air. Lercara Friddi is also known for being the place of origin of Frank Sinatra's family.
30 minutes
Prizzi
From there, we will move towards Prizzi, a municipality rich in history dating back to 258 BC. We delve into the timeless charm of the city's narrow streets, where getting lost is equivalent to taking a leap back in time. From this privileged position, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a spectacular view of the heart of Sicily.
30 minutes
Palazzo Adriano
Il nostro viaggio prosegue verso Palazzo Adriano, un gioiello nel cuore della Sicilia. Questa cittadina, fondata nel XV secolo da esuli albanesi, è un affascinante mix di culture. Tra le sue peculiarità spicca una chiesa di rito greco-bizantino, testimone delle antiche tradizioni albanesi ancora vive tra gli abitanti. Palazzo Adriano è anche famosa per essere stata il set del film premio Oscar "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso", rendendola una meta amata dai visitatori di tutto il mondo.
60 minutes
Eremo di Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina
Our journey continues towards Cammarata, but first we will stop at Santo Stefano Quisquina. We will take a short walk in the woods, close to the Monte Cammarata nature reserve, to reach the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina, a place of great spirituality and beauty, immersed in nature. Especially in the summer months, the hermitage opens all its internal rooms, even the cells, offering a unique experience. In the winter months, however, the charm of the exteriors does not lack, equally offering an unforgettable experience.
