폰다첼리 판티나 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

An interesting gateway along the ancient Castroreale-Mandanici cattle track where it overlaps with the Peloritani mountain range. The annual pilgrimages to the Sanctuary of Tindari, which are made in a variety of ways (on foot, by bike, on horseback), all pass through this gateway. Over the years, devout believers have erected votive icons, each representing their Ionian hometown, making the whole experience unique and a delight to see.

Argimusco is a plateau located in Sicily, just north of Etna, approximately on the border between the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountains, and is administratively divided between the municipalities of Montalbano Elicona, Tripi (which stands on the site of ancient Abacaenum) and Roccella Valdemone. The plateau is very panoramic as you can admire Etna, the Aeolian Islands, the curious mountains Rocca Salvatesta and Montagna di Vernà, Capo Tindari, Capo Calavà and Capo Milazzo up close. It is part of the Bosco di Malabotta nature reserve.

This stretch of provincial road offers a privileged viewpoint of the megalithic rocks of Argimusco that stand out among the grazing meadows and thick fern forests.

Very suggestive for its dimensions and for the balance that keeps it in a perfect vertical position

You can probably start a tour through the canyon here.

A nice climb with hairpin bends. An unexpected church in such a hairpin bend.

Hidden in the hills of the Alcantara valley, the Cuba, or church of Santa Domenica, is a fascinating mystery of the past. Its construction, estimated between the 7th and 9th centuries AD, makes it an authentic historical gem. Immersed in the countryside three kilometers from the town centre, it caresses the banks of the Alcantara river. The architectural structure, with its Greek cross plan supported by four pillars, hides an enigma: three different roofs, an apse with a hollow vault, side naves with barrel vaults and a spherical dome with singular construction mastery. Traces of frescoes testify to its ancient internal beauty. The façade, a reference to the Basilian chapels, offers the unusual spectacle of an apse facing east and a central door that opens towards the west. Beyond its conventional age, some experts put forward the hypothesis of a construction in periods subsequent to the Byzantine era, adding a touch of mystery. Over the centuries, writers, scholars and travelers have told stories of this "Cuba" in the countryside, next to the village of Castiglione di Sicilia. Even today, Cuba attracts scholars and university students, eager to reveal the secrets of its architecture and history. In 1900 it was recognized as a monument of national interest and a FAI asset. Property of the Municipality, it is open to visitors, ready to explore this pearl of the past (for further information and visits, simply contact the numbers 800010552 or 0942980222).
