Such a warm little village. I was in the bar opposite the church on the piazza and was greeted so warmly as if I had always lived there. Next to the church is a beautiful mural and I also had a good meal at il Pellegrino.

Stairs are easy to climb and well maintained. But very steep.

the castle of Chiaramonte is open to visits

The castle of Sant'Angelo enjoys a fantastic view of the sea

The coves of the Nicolizia district offer small isolated beaches, and various areas with rocks.

The Tower of Charles V was built in 1554 to defend the most important charger on the island; the massive structure, with a truncated pyramid shape, is dominated by the so-called "gunboat terrace". The dimensions and defenses of the fortification still give an idea of the importance of the loader in the economy of the time. The tower was used as a prison for a long time: in 1848 it was the scene of the massacre of 114 prisoners. Source: https://fondoambiente.it/

Around the majestic cliff of the ducal castle, built by the Colonna princes, stands the picturesque village of Joppolo Giancaxio, founded in 1696 at the behest of the baron. In addition to its castle, this agricultural center is famous for the cultivation of yellow melon and for the annual festival held in early August, attracting enthusiasts and the curious.

The Torre del Salto d'Angiò, also known by the name "a Turri" as it is called in popular jargon, is located about 12 km from Aragona, in the province of Agrigento. The structure is rectangular in shape, incorporated into an 18th century farmhouse, and is divided into three levels, of which the first and third have rounded mullioned windows, while the second has pointed single-lancet windows. Its imposing mass stands at the center of three courtyards, where the rooms of the farm were once located. The Torre del Salto d'Angiò is positioned at the meeting point of three fiefdoms: Diesi, Cantarella and Muxarello and overlooks the territory of the latter two. In the period between the 13th and 14th centuries these two fiefdoms were united into a single fiefdom: the Muxaro. A Turri has undergone many transformations over the centuries and is still a structure with a particular charm, thanks also to the enchanting and solitary landscape in which it is located.
