Overview
Palazzo Adriano is one of the most fascinating villages in the Sicilian hinterland, nestled in the Sicani Mountains among green landscapes, gentle hills and peaceful silence that invites exploration.
The town is renowned for its unique history: founded by Albanian communities who settled in Sicily in the 15th century, it still preserves Arbëreshë traditions, language and culture, making it a truly special place.
The heart of the village is the scenic Piazza Umberto I— made famous by the film Nuovo Cinema Paradiso— overlooked by the Church of Maria Santissima Assunta (Latin rite) and the Church of Maria SS. del Lume (Greek-Byzantine rite), a testament to the harmonious coexistence of the two communities.
The streets of the historic centre reveal stone houses, noble palaces and viewpoints that narrate a long story of identity and spirituality.
The surrounding area offers beautiful nature trails, perfect for walks through woods, streams and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the entire Sicani landscape.
Living traditions, evocative religious festivals and a welcoming atmosphere make Palazzo Adriano an ideal year-round destination for those wishing to discover the most authentic and lesser-known side of Sicily.
