Mussomeli, the rock that tells a region’s story

Mussomeli’s castle stands on a limestone outcrop, with pointed arches and mullioned windows. Visit Sicily identifies it as a landmark of the Caltanissetta area.

Treating it only as an isolated monument misses its relationship with the town and agricultural landscape. It provides a starting point for understanding inland Sicily through buildings, work and communities. Visiting arrangements require a separate check.
