A village uninhabited for decades, ever since the entire population was relocated en masse to a brand-new town. Three thousand people, the exodus of survivors of the 1968 earthquake that destroyed entire towns in the provinces of Trapani and Agrigento. Today, only façades remain, baroque railings, old majolica tiles, a tangle of houses leaning against the bell tower of the main church, and stairways that look like they were cut out with scissors on a sheet of paper. Before the earthquake, Poggioreale was a delightful baroque village, with noble palaces, the square with the club, the inn, and everything else. The ruins bear witness to a tragedy from 40 years ago: fear, escape, separation. A place that, due to its beauty and the evocative atmosphere it evokes, has been the setting for numerous famous films: it is here that Tornatore filmed some scenes from Malena and The Star Man. An island out of time, with the hands of the clock stopped on the terrible night of January 15, 1968.

State Road 188 Central Western Sicily (SS 188) is an Italian state road that crosses western Sicily from Marsala to Lercara Friddi. It divides into two sections: the first from Marsala to the Centovernari junction, near Prizzi; the second from the Filaga junction to Lercara Friddi.

History, culture and breathtaking views of the hilly surroundings are all mixed here. The view of the Norman-Swabian castle that towers over the town is particularly impressive - a perfect destination after a challenging stage. The climb, especially in the Monte delle Rose district, is quite demanding, but the reward is worth it: a spectacular view of the old town and the castle. Salemi is not only a visual highlight, but also steeped in history. In May 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi briefly proclaimed Salemi the first capital of a united Italy - even if the title only lasted for one day. This town combines the legacy of a turbulent past with the charm of a typical Sicilian village, which lies about 400 meters above sea level. Salemi not only offers a historical insight, but also a challenging but worthwhile route through the rural region. When you drive through the winding streets here, you can literally feel how history and the present merge into one another.

Authentic coastal town. Well worth seeing.

Nice surface suitable for racing bikes. Little traffic during the week but always windy.

The only surviving element of the oldest convent complex of Partanna is the tall soaring bell tower, now isolated, which serves as a clock tower; it was added in 1650, almost two centuries after the church of Santa Maria della Catena extra moenia was entrusted to the Franciscans (1484), next to which the friars had built their convent in 1523. Of the church which was renovated in the 18th century (1765), after the demolition in 1968, there remain pieces of stucco walls and part of the apse area. The bell tower houses the statues of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Immaculate Conception in two eighteenth-century niches. The pyramidal spire was rebuilt in the 1990s.
