The current Basilica Sanctuary was built recently (1957-1979), but the history surrounding the cult is much older, dating back to the late eighth and early ninth centuries. A ship coming from the East, loaded with goods, including a statue of the Virgin Mary that had escaped iconoclastic persecution, was forced to dock by a violent storm. The sailors were forced to disembark, but the ship remained motionless. So the occupants decided to lighten the load, leaving the chest containing the statue of the Madonna Bruna on shore, among other items. The ship set sail again and continued its journey.

Small refuge but with everything you need, I really enjoyed making a little stop here before starting my route in the Sartorius Mountains. Excellent

A work of art made of gold and colors. But I especially like the view. There are many souvenir shops, bars and a restaurant here.

You can sleep here or just have something to eat or drink. Fair prices for a mountain hut and a great view of Etna and the sea.

Known as "the quastallum" by the Arabs, Castiglione di Sicilia stands on a hill between the Alcantara valley and the Etna park, offering breathtaking landscapes with orchards and lava flows. It has a history dominated by the Arabs and subsequently by the Normans and Swabians. The village is known for its honors and its beauty, recognized with a regional decree in 1994. The castle of Lauria, which dominates the town, was born as a defensive fortress for the city; well built as it was, on the sandstone rock, and surrounded by powerful defensive walls, it constituted a perfect military defense both inland and throughout the rest of the Alcantara valley. From the start of your visit to Castiglione di Sicilia, it will not be difficult for you to notice how this village is closely linked to the medieval period, both for the narrow streets that characterize it and for the presence of a castle on top of a hill ' of stronghold.

Rifugio Citelli, donated in 1934 by Professor Salvatore Citelli to the CAI, stands on the top of Monte Concazze, a former crater with a panoramic view. Inaugurated in 1935, it experienced ups and downs until its renovation in 2012. Now, it is a favorite destination for ski mountaineering and trekking on the slopes of Etna. https://www.rifugiocitelli.it/il-rifugio/

Gradient is pretty even, the road is pretty large and recently paved. Not much shade this high up. From the top, you can keep climbing towards Floresta and Randazzo (maybe all the way to the Etna?) or take a right turn and descend towards Tortorici, the valley and (eventually) the coast

The road is sliding in some areas but by bike its perfectly rideable and also quiet

Refuge located at 1740 meters above sea level in the north-east area of Etna. We are at the top of Mount Concazze.
