Journey to Enna
Holiday in the heart of Sicily
Enna, the provincial capital, is located on a ridge in the heart of Sicily. The small and charming town features one of the largest Sicilian forts, an ancient Greek temple and a panoramic view of the heart of Sicily. Among several other interesting mountain towns, in close proximity to Enna you will find some of the world's most famous Roman mosaics at the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina.
Journey to Enna: On the trail of days gone by
Enna has been known as the navel of Sicily since ancient times. Perched on a ridge, the city was for a long time not only impregnable, but with the central sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone it was also the focus of the cultural and religious life in Sicily. The small town does not boast as many attractions as other provincial capitals – but Enna still exudes a certain charm and also features one of the largest castles in Sicily as well as a beautiful cathedral. A detour is certainly worth it and you can explore the centre during a short walk in about two hours.
