An unsurpassed masterpiece of art is Antonello Gagini's Madonna and Child , certainly the most perfect work he executed in 1516. The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli contains the holy relics of Blessed Giovanni Liccio whose cult is great in Caccamo. In the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, the stone portal of the central entrance is dominated by a niche where you can admire a 16th-century marble high relief depicting the Virgin and Child by an unknown artist. Characteristic is the half-timbered roof of the nave , painted with polychrome decorations depicting episodes from the life of the Dominican saints. Due to lack of restoration, the decorations have unfortunately fallen into disrepair. Also in the church are 14 octagonal canvases from the Via Crucis, seventeenth-century works of popular taste. On the right side of the transept we see a work from the end of the 18th century, a canvas depicting Saints Peter and Paul showing one of the few views of the castle below with a mastra tower that no longer exists because it was destroyed after the earthquake of 1823.

According to ChatGPT: a large cave that was once formed by the sea. Remains of dwarf elephants were found in the Grotta Mazzamuto, suggesting that the area was once inhabited by animals that were later isolated.

You have to climb a steep path to reach the cave, BUT it is worthwhile.

Be careful on the westward ascent! The final 150 meters to the summit are quite steep and very exposed. The terrain is also not ideal, consisting of scree, small stones, tufts of grass, and loose earth, which can lead to falls. Furthermore, the path from this side is almost completely unmarked, and the depression between Rocca Ramusa and Rocca Busambra is completely overgrown, at least in summer. Furthermore, the path to the summit itself from the west is dominated by tall grasses, thistles, and other plants at this time of year. In high temperatures, you should carry at least two liters of water per person and wear a hat. In summer, I recommend spending plenty of time in the depression between Rocca Ramusa and Rocca Busambra because of the thick undergrowth there. I advise inexperienced hikers against the westward ascent.

Small lake located behind the King's Pond.

Very easy hike, very beautiful from Cacamo! Magnificent view of the North Sicilian coast from Palermo to Cefalu!

Very beautiful and, at times, challenging climb in a suggestive environment.
