Fresh water all year round

"In 2012, a man named Salvo Valenti claimed to have had visions of the Archangel Michael, who ordered him to place a painting of St. Michael in a wooden votive shrine near a spring in the Madonie mountains, at an altitude of 1,300 meters. This site has become a pilgrimage destination, even though the Curia does not officially recognize it as a sanctuary. The story is shrouded in mystery and devotion, and the painting continues to inspire the faithful who go there to pray and reflect."

"The Madonie Park is a protected natural area that extends for about 400 square kilometers in the central-northern area of Sicily. This true oasis immersed in greenery preserves specimens of particular fauna and flora and numerous tree species that grow only in this territory. Located on the north-west side of the island, the park was created in 1988 to protect the variety of fauna and vegetation, which collects in an exemplary manner the typical features present on the island".

When I visited in May 2024, the water was not inviting to drink, but I think it is fine in an emergency.

It is one of the highest peaks of the Madonie and with its 1,912 meters of altitude, it represents the third highest peak in Sicily.

A votive chapel, for the most faithful.
