The narrow path leads through the impressive cliffs and always opens up surprising views of the surrounding nature. Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking sight: the Marble Madonna stands there in silent majesty, surrounded by the rocky slopes and the deep blue sky. The climb may be strenuous, but the peace and beauty of the park make up for every effort. Remember to bring enough water with you, as the route can be sweaty, especially in direct sunlight.Her calm and peaceful demeanor exudes a spiritual aura that fits perfectly with the picturesque and tranquil surroundings of the park. Especially in the clear mountain air and surrounded by the rugged, rocky landscape, the Marble Madonna almost seems like a guardian spirit over the region.The statue itself was probably made from local marble, which is common in Sicily due to the long tradition of marble sculpture. These Madonna statues are often signs of faith and serve as symbols of protection and hope for the communities in the area.
