Very suggestive, characteristic and colorful village, absolutely not to be missed

Borgo dei Parrini is a small rural hamlet located within the municipality of Partinico (PA) in Sicily, Italy. Founded by the Jesuit fathers in the 17th century, from which it takes its name (in Sicilian, parrini means 'fathers'/'priests'). The recent intervention of a local entrepreneur has transformed the small agricultural village, partly decadent, into a corner with eccentric houses vaguely inspired by the style of Antoni Gaudí. This intervention has been arousing growing tourist interest in recent years. Source: wikipedia

Borgo dei Parrini was born in the early 1600s, when the priests of the Society of Jesus, called "parrini" in Sicilian dialect, decided to buy land near Partinico. At the beginning of the 1700s, the Jesuits built watchtowers, warehouses, houses and a small church dedicated to Maria Santissima del Rosario. The Jesuit Order was suppressed and the property passed to the French prince Henri d'Orléans. After World War II, the local population moved to the cities, and as a result the village remained abandoned. The degradation that took place lasted until the end of the nineties, when, on the initiative of the entrepreneur Giuseppe Gaglio, an "original" recovery slowly got under way which involved the small village.

The church is located in the Parrini village of Partinico in "Contrada Parrini". From the few existing documents there is trace of the small center dating back to the 1600s when, at the behest of the Jesuit Fathers of the Novitiate of Palermo, lands were purchased to the north east of Partinico. After almost a century, the same Jesuits had a small church dedicated to Maria SS. Of the Rosary.

It consists of a single rectangular nave covered by a wooden roof with trusses and a pitched roof above. The interior is devoid of decorations. Source: italian churches.chiesacattolica.it

The wood of Santa Venera contains many surprises, including the Manico di Quarara Necropolis, the White Grotto and the medieval church known as the "old house".

It is a really nice village inside but not too much that is definitely worth a visit
