At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Mussomeli Castle, also known as castello Manfredonico, where we'll begin a guided tour of Mussomeli.

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

Next, we'll take a half-hour stroll to the historic centre of Mussomeli. During the walk through narrow streets, we'll discover churches, palaces, and artistic highlights. We'll stop at the Church of Saint Ludovico, or Chiesa Madre, built between the 17th and 18th centuries, known for its belfry.

Then we will check out the Clock Tower of Mussomeli, dating back to the 16th century, restored in the early 20th century. By the 19th century, it featured a large three-sided clock for residents to easily tell the time.

The route will take us to Palazzo Sgadari, which became a prison in the 19th century and currently houses the Archaeological Museum of Mussomeli. We'll also 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.
