Easily got to from well signposted road in lower Enna. Plenty of parking. Large castle remains, well kept and with the most spectacular views from top of the tower (steps). Well recommended.

We took the trip to Etna several days ago. Xtreme team took us from the hotel in early morning and then an amazing day started. Firstly we were taken to traditional sicilian coffee shop where we had opportunity to taste traditional desserts. After that guys took large (and very tasty) sandwiches for a picnic and continued our trip to Etna. Fantastic and unforgettable landscapes were shown for us. Various interesting facts about Etna, it's history as well as Sicily were told for us. The tour was really informative, interesting and is really recommended for everyone who is interested in visiting Etna.
Hope that it was first but not last tour with you guys!
Best regards,
Sandra & Marius

The Rocca di Cerere is a superb place to appreciate amazing views over the landscape of Sicily. Etna looks wonderful from here and one has very fine views over the town on Enna with its Castle and fascinating hillside development. The Rocca itself is the site of an ancient Greek Temple dating from 480BC. One can stand here taking in the magnificence of the views over the centre of this island whilst taking in the feel of ancient history that impacted upon this area.

Legend has it that in 1600, some pious women dreamed that in the highest part of the source Papardura there was depicted the image of Jesus crucified and that several people who had prayed the place had been miraculously. in 1696 with the contributions of a deputation of prosecutors called the "Massari", a bridge was built for the edification of the church, with incorporation of the cave in which part and represented the Holy Cross. It is said that by Christmas of 1742, crops were so scarce that there was considerable famine. on that occasion in 1746, went to the Shrine hundreds of people, arrived on the scene, the pastor of the Church, announced that prosecutors of the Church, in honor of Jesus Crucified, every year, for the party have distributed small "collorelle" ( CUDDUREDDE), delta-shaped Greek (Holy Cross), made up of mixture of flour and water. That year the earth gave such an abundance of grain. And so the Cudduredde sanctioned devotion since then and to this day it is practiced in the feast of the crucifix as an act of thanksgiving for the end of the terrible famine.

Abbiamo visitato questo bellissimo santuario in occasione del matrimonio di amici: lo spettacolo che si è presentato ai nostri occhi ci ha lasciato senza parole! La struttura e' modesta, ma incantevole: anche la vista sulla vallata di Enna e' tutto dire. Non apre nei giorni festivi e di domenica.

Octangular watchtower 24m high is linked to the castle by a hidden passage. It dates back to the thirteenth century and stands in the centre of the Giardino Pubblico. It is well worth the effort to climb the many steps to the top for the great views of the town and countryside.

.....but an effort has been made to display their finds artistically and informatively. Some very impressive pieces are on display. Admission is free and the staff, who seem to spend their time relaxing and chatting in the entrance, are friendly and welcoming.
No sign of them wanting to hang on to my camera bag or other luggage. It was a nice way to spend 45 minutes on a cold and rainy afternoon.

What raises this from an "average" to a "very good" is the surprise of finding it's no longer a church. As you enter to a bright, well-lit interior which retains the nave and altar, and which has a wonderful old tiled floor, you see that the side chapels have been sealed off by walls which have a steel framework dividing them up into squares; each square has a small plate with a name, a name and a picture, or simply the word "unknown".
These are War dead - mostly Italian servicemen from WW2 but, we were told, amongst the "unknowns" are British and American servicement. Rather than simply a memorial, this is a mausoleum, with the bodies interred behind these walls.
As a mark of respect to those who gave their lives in war - regardless of which side they were on - it's unusual and rather poignant.
Enna, we found, is a town with little enough to recommend it. Well done the townspeople for Chiesa di Santa Chiara.

This is an artificial Lake built around the 1970's. It's quite impressive and is used during the summer months for a diverse range of aquatic sport. Worth a visit if you are touring Sicily by car.
