Mazzarino, a small Sicilian town, rises on the plateaus of the Erei mountains, in the south-eastern area of the Nissena province, near the Gela plain. The town is known for its castle, 'U Cannuni, a 12th century fortress of Norman origin. Once the residence of the counts of Mazarin, the castle preserves a cylindrical tower and remains of walls, witnesses of its ancient grandeur and importance.
