The Castello di Lombardia in Enna is one of the largest and most important fortresses in Sicily. It sits strategically atop a high plateau and combines Norman, Hohenstaufen, and Aragonese architectural elements. From its towers, there are sweeping views across the island.

The castle is open, but there's not much to see inside. In my opinion, the entrance fee isn't worth it. The beautiful view is better enjoyed from the Rocca behind it. It's also free 😉

Nice view

There is a beautiful view of Mt Etna from this cemetery. Boys from my father's regiment amongst the dead here.

The castle is still closed :(

As memorials to the countless war dead, such sites – usually referred to as "war cemeteries" or "military cemeteries" – remain very important to this day. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said...", it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2:29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time perpetual function of military cemeteries, honorary cemeteries, or war cemeteries is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain lasting peace.

The church is only open on May 3rd on the occasion of the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Spectacular view of Etna and the Catania plain. I left my bike at the foot of the steps. https://centuripecittaimperiale.com/chiesa-del-calvario/

Marks the center of the village. Right next to it is the village square with some bars and the community center.
