ゴドラーノのおすすめツーリングルート

As a great lover of hunting, King Ferdinand III of Bourbon, owner of the entire Ficuzza Forest and the Royal Hunting Lodge built nearby, had steps and a large ledge carved into this rocky outcrop for hunting. This is the so-called King's Pulpit, a beautiful and evocative sight.

Located at the end of Corso Calatafimi and the road to Monreale, it is one of the four historic entrance gates to the city of Palermo, perhaps the most important.

Palermo welcomes you with this monumental gate built in 1583 to celebrate the triumph of Emperor Charles V after the conquest of Tunis. The imposing external façade is decorated with statues of Moors in Renaissance and Mannerist style.

Ficuzza, a hamlet of Corleone, is a small center that clustered around the hunting lodge commissioned by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon in 1803.
