Caltabellotta

Sicily's beauty lies not only in its shores, but in rocky hills and cultivated valleys. A throwback to bygone times and landscape, forgotten by conquerors and politicians, the villages transport Sicily to Pirandello's novels and the Taviani Brothers movies. Caltabellotta is one of them. Located on a hill 850 meters high, the town is crowned by the ruins of a Norman fortress. It's a steep clime but don't miss the opportunity to see the views. Caltabellotta is gathered around the little square, overlooking the gulf. His red roofs stand against the stone and against the breathtaking scenery of endless cultivated fields.
