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.

Castelbuono is located in the province of Palermo

Even if you are not interested in the statue, you should visit this place because you have a great view.

I have been there several times and have never seen the church open. But the place is still very beautiful, especially the panoramic path to the right of the church.

Bronze work "The comet" by the Petralese sculptor Vincenzo Gennaro. Total height 6.06m, lost wax bronze casting. Plaster model made in the Petralia Soprana Oratory in 1992, casting, chiselling and polishing made in Tuscany in 1993. The comet is the symbol of man's rediscovered ability and will to start afresh from the foundations because he has rediscovered the path of his history, the 'ancient pride never extinguished of being the custodian of millennia of civilization. The comet indicates the place where the ferments destined to build the warp and weft of a historical cultural redemption are elaborated. Source: visitpetraliasoprana.it

Pizzo Palermo and Pizzo Principessa are also easy to plan, even if there are no specially marked paths there.

Beautiful ride to the 1500 m high summit cross. Great view 😊

After Etna, the highest point in Sicily. The excursion in winter with snow is suggestive
