Mussomeli Monuments Tour

At the appointed time, we'll meet at the Piazzale Castello Manfredonico to start exploring one of the most characteristic monuments of Mussomeli.

Before entering the Manfredonico Castle, we'll pause to admire its façade and learn about its historical significance. This castle was built in the 14th century by order of a descendant of Charlemagne. We'll learn about Manfredi III Chiaramonte and his influence in Sicily.

Then, we'll enter the monument to visit its armoury, throne room, bedroom, and chapel. We'll examine the decoration of the building and discuss its hidden traps.

After visiting the Manfredonico Castle, we'll proceed to the centre of Mussomeli for a guided tour of other significant historical monuments.

We'll visit the church of San Ludovico or Chiesa Madre, constructed at the request of Manfredi III. After touring its interior, we'll see the façade of the Clock Tower, explore Palazzo Trabia, and tour Palazzo Sgadari, a former prison that now hosts the archaeological museum of Mussomeli.

After a four-hour tour, we'll conclude the guided tour at the Palazzo Sgadari.
