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 impressive façade and learn about its historical importance. This castle was built in the 14th century by order of a descendant of Charlemagne. We'll learn all about Manfredi III Chiaramonte and his role in Sicily's history.

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

Once we've seen the Manfredonico castle, we'll walk to the centre of Mussomeli for a guided tour of other important historical monuments.

We'll visit the church of San Ludovico or Chiesa Madre, constructed at the request of Manfredi III. After exploring its interior, we'll see the façade of the Clock Tower, and explore Palazzo Trabia and Palazzo Sgadari, which once served as a prison and is now the archaeological museum of Mussomeli.

After a four-hour tour, we'll conclude by bidding farewell to the Palazzo Sgadari.
