Castelbuono Castle, a symbol of this small town in the Palermo hinterland. And it couldn't be otherwise, given its grandeur and the glorious history that ties it to the very life of Castelbuono even today. The castle was commissioned by the Ventimiglia family, one of the richest and most noble families in Sicily, whose ties are not only to the castle, but to the very existence of the town of Castelbuono. There is little information about the origins of Castelbuono, but we know that in 1269, King Charles of Anjou confiscated the feudal state of Geraci from the Ventimiglia family, forcing the then head of the family, Alduino, to find new accommodation for the inhabitants of his village. The settlement was married to Ipsigro, an ancient Byzantine farmhouse, which once stood where the center of Castelbuono stands today.

A large metal summit cross, easy access from Ref. Crispi, wonderful landscape in the Parco delle Madonie, views in all directions, the most spectacular certainly to Castelbuono towards the sea (N)...it's worth it...also later on the stop at the CAS hut Ref. Crispi

What a fantastic view from up here! (360°). A wooden sign marks the summit (Sicily's second highest!). The path is steep on all sides but always easy to walk, never really exposed; only loose rocks could pose a problem. The area was apparently quite busy in the past (ski lifts, etc.), but nature is slowly reclaiming the infrastructure...great beech "groves"!

Especially beautiful at sunset!

Castelbuono is located in the province of Palermo

Municipality in the province of Palermo and within the Madonie park, Isnello presents an area dotted with karst phenomena that create various caves and cavities. The origin of the name Isnello is uncertain: it could derive from the Syriac term hassin ("cold river"), from the Punic hassinor ("stream that flows in a tube-shaped bed") or from the Greek asines ("the harmlessness of the stream "). Several relatively important waterways, in fact, cross the Isnello territory. Furthermore, since 2016 there has been a Center for research, teaching and dissemination of astronomical sciences here, which was given the name GAL Hassin, a play on words between galaxy and the ancient name of the territory. In Isnello you can enjoy a really dark sky at night!

Absolutely to see this beautiful sanctuary ... it takes a while to get there since it is located at 800 m above sea level
