The Palace dates back to a period before the earthquake of 1693, when most of the city's buildings were destroyed. The palace belonged to the Crescimanno counts and over the centuries it hosted illustrious personalities such as Ferdinand II of Bourbon and other nobles who visited Caltagirone.

The staircase of Santa Maria del Monte is illuminated every year by 4000 candles for two evenings, between 24 and 25 July on the occasion of the feast of the protector San Giacomo.

The symbolic place of the city is the famous Staircase, composed of a total of 142 steps, which has a fascinating history that dates back to 1608, when it was built with the aim of uniting the two parts of the city, the upper and the lower one. However, its real transformation came in the 1950s, when it was lovingly restored using fine lava stone and adorned with the vibrant and typical Caltagirone majolica, giving the staircase a new life and an incredibly picturesque appearance.
