カザルヴェッキオシクロでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A church where you can admire Byzantine, Arab, Sicilian, and Norman architecture. The exterior features exposed brick. The interior columns are made of granite similar to that of the ancient theater in Taormina. They are likely excavated columns from the Byzantine era. The column abacus is made of lava stone.

Only a quarter of the trail had been mowed when we hiked there today. Before that, about 300 meters of grass, thistles, and brambles were looming—it might soon be impossible to get through.

In the meantime, the last quarter of the path has been mown and is very easy to walk on. Overall, a very nice hike with great views of the hinterland, the Aetna and the sea - very worthwhile 🤩

A place where you can see mummies laid out. You have to ring the bell and hope that someone answers and opens the door. For a fee you are allowed in and can visit this bizarre place.

Hiking through the rock in the last quarter was quite hard because of the tall bushes and grass …you have to be very careful

Steepest section of the route but which can be done without special equipment ... trekking poles are recommended but can be replaced by any wooden stick that can be recovered on site

Savoca is a Normandy fortified town 300 meters above the Strait of Messina. The town is beautifully prepared and touristically developed. Above all, it is worth the view from Calvary to Calabria and the strait. Simply great. There is a Capuchin monastery in the village with a tomb (including mummies) and another three churches, of which the Chiesa Madre is a gem. Otherwise you will find small restaurants and bars with delicious food. We ate delicious Semifreddo near the Capuchin monastery. The trail from the valley is very steep, the road but freshly tarred and attractive for ambitious cyclists.

P.S .: Do not be put off by the impassable approach. A visit is very worthwhile!

Near the small village of Casalvecchio Siculo lies in the Torrental Torró a very complex monument of the High Middle Ages in Sicily. The Greek inscription on the architrave of the main portal states that the church was rebuilt by the master builder Gerhard the Frank in 1172 on behalf of the catechumens Theosteriktos. The Norman Roger II had it built in 1116. The church miraculously unites Byzantine, Norman and Arabic architectural elements. until 1776 Greek orthodox Basilian monks lived here in a tiny abbey. Inside, in the small and narrow church, high pointed arches on monolithic pillars separate three ships from each other. On the main axis of the central nave are the two very different domes, which allow light from above and give the church something mystical. A beautiful place. I would like to point out to the picnic area below the monastery, where we spent a nice lunch break directly on the Torrente leading in spring water.
