Mussomeli Walking Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Mussomeli Castle or castello Manfredonico, where we'll begin a guided tour of Mussomeli, a town in the heart of Sicily.

Mussomeli played an important role in medieval times. After introductions, we'll discuss the history of the castle while admiring its façade and fortified walls.

Next, we'll go on a half-hour stroll to the historic centre of Mussomeli. As we walk through the narrow streets, we'll discover its churches, palaces and artistic beauty. We will stop at the Church of Saint Ludovico, locally known as the Chiesa Madre, built between the 17th and 18th centuries, notable for its belfry.

We'll also see the Clock Tower, dating back to the 16th century and restored in the early 20th century. By the 19th century, it was equipped with a large three-sided clock, enabling residents to tell the time from any part of town.

The route will take us to Palazzo Sgadari, transformed into a prison in the 19th century and currently housing the Archaeological Museum of Mussomeli. We will visit Palazzo Trabia and the exteriors of churches such as Santa Margherita, Providence, and Monti.

After three hours, the tour will conclude near the Chiesa di San Giovanni.
