The village of Cammarata rises at the base of the mountain of the same name and is located within the Monte Cammarata oriented nature reserve. Some artifacts found in the surrounding caves suggest that this area was inhabited since prehistoric times. The first written testimony, however, dates back to the Norman period around the year 1000 AD. The center of the town has maintained its medieval urban characteristics and the southern wing of the Castle of Cammarata is still visible and can be visited. Another site not to be missed is the Norman-style Mother Church of San Nicola di Bari, although rebuilt in the seventeenth century, it houses one of the oldest pipe organs on the entire island (dating back to around 1500).

Mussomeli and Its Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Mussomeli area was inhabited since ancient times. The first traces are from pre-Hellenic times, these are rock-cut tombs similar to other tombs found in various areas of Sicily. Other testimonies confirm the presence of a settlement both in the period of Greek and Roman domination. But it is only in the Norman period that this town assumes strategic importance also thanks to the construction of the castle by Manfredi III. The Terravecchia district contains the historical identity of this village, it is believed that it was from that first nucleus of houses that the town developed as demonstrated by the presence of monuments such as the Clock Tower, various noble palaces and some of the churches oldest in the city.
