The Madonies. This national park, which is well known for its natural, historical, and artistic contribution to the surrounding territory, is dotted with numerous religious structures, monasteries, hermitages and stone churches, and many of them are isolated aloft the mountain tops. Forgotten along the waterways are mills and old farms, often built on the more ancient remains of Roman buildings; they attest the ability of a culture able to live in perfect harmony with nature. In the area of the Madonies, one may also find the oldest of all Sicilian rocks, formed during the Triassic period. This is documented by the numerous fossils which have been recovered in the calcareous zones of the mountain chain. The tallest and most spectacular peaks of these chains are Pizzo Carbonara (1979 m), Monte San Salvatore (1912 m), Monte Ferro (1906 m), Monte Ouacella (1869 m), and Monte dei Cervi (1656 m).
If you are planning to visit the Madonies, we can strongly recommend the medieval town Castelbuono, where you can enjoy an amazing view and where you can find many nice restaurants and picturesque streets.
