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.

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'll stop in front of the Church of Saint Ludovico, known locally as the Chiesa Madre, built between the 17th and 18th centuries, noted for its belfry.

We'll also see the Clock Tower of Mussomeli, dating back to the 16th century, restored in the early 20th century, and featuring a three-sided clock for the townspeople.

The route includes Palazzo Sgadari, which became a prison in the 19th century and is now the site of 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.
