カッカモのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

An unsurpassed masterpiece of art is Antonello Gagini's Madonna and Child , certainly the most perfect work he executed in 1516. The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli contains the holy relics of Blessed Giovanni Liccio whose cult is great in Caccamo. In the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, the stone portal of the central entrance is dominated by a niche where you can admire a 16th-century marble high relief depicting the Virgin and Child by an unknown artist. Characteristic is the half-timbered roof of the nave , painted with polychrome decorations depicting episodes from the life of the Dominican saints. Due to lack of restoration, the decorations have unfortunately fallen into disrepair. Also in the church are 14 octagonal canvases from the Via Crucis, seventeenth-century works of popular taste. On the right side of the transept we see a work from the end of the 18th century, a canvas depicting Saints Peter and Paul showing one of the few views of the castle below with a mastra tower that no longer exists because it was destroyed after the earthquake of 1823.

According to ChatGPT: a large cave that was once formed by the sea. Remains of dwarf elephants were found in the Grotta Mazzamuto, suggesting that the area was once inhabited by animals that were later isolated.

You have to climb a steep path to reach the cave, BUT it is worthwhile.

Very easy hike, very beautiful from Cacamo! Magnificent view of the North Sicilian coast from Palermo to Cefalu!

Very beautiful and, at times, challenging climb in a suggestive environment.

Long trousers even in summer or in any case long socks, the path is not always clean, pay particular attention in the second part after the precarious rock, it is practically the only stretch that can be a little dangerous because it is close to the Devil's ravine. With a constant pace you can go up and down in about 3 hours

According to tradition, San Calogero lived in the cliffs of the mountain and left his footprint in one of his stones in chasing the demons that troubled the mountain and the nearby baths.

Mount San Calogero, with its 1290 meters of altitude, remains a rather high peak for the average of the region.
