The Cathedral of Mazara del Vallo, the "Santissimo Salvatore", immediately captivates you. This mixture of Norman origins and baroque splendor was begun as early as 1086 and later redesigned in the baroque style in the 17th century. The sea-green domes give the cathedral a unique charm, especially when they shine in the light of the Sicilian sun. As you walk through the main square in front of the cathedral, you immediately notice how it is embedded in the surrounding architecture and yet stands out as a dominant monument. A highlight of the interior is the ornate carving and the detailed statues that recall the history of the city and its rulers. Particularly nice: The spacious, shady squares around the cathedral invite you to take a break in the shade of the palm trees. If you come in the afternoon, make sure you allow enough time for the visit, as the cathedral sometimes closes earlier.

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.

This is the ancient Arab quarter called the Kasbah which dates back to the first arrival of the Arabs in Sicily. Among the wonders of the Kasbah stands out the Blue Door which opens onto one of the most evocative alleys, the door is not simply the entrance to a house, but the access to a world of creativity.

Small village with few souls, but a beautiful tourist location

Little traffic, good surface. Windy and hot.
