Borgo Pietro Lupo, the only hamlet of Mineo, was built in 1941 on the initiative of the fascist government, dedicated to the soldier Pietro Lupo. Although conceived as a civic centre, today the village is mostly abandoned, with many uninhabited houses. Nearby, there is the Mongialino Castle.

Militello in Val di Catania ('Militeḍḍu' in dialect) is a Sicilian treasure known for its priceless monumental heritage. In 2002, Militello was recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site together with seven other late Baroque cities of the Val di Noto. Its history has its roots in antiquity, with archaeological evidence ranging from the Copper and Hellenistic Ages to the Byzantine and Arab ones. Legends tell of its foundation during the Second Punic War, while historical evidence links it to the Norman era. The Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Stella is an example of its artistic and cultural richness. Not far away, the Ossena Waterfalls offer a fascinating natural oasis.
