Mistretta

Perched on a scenic hill, at about one thousand meters above sea level, Mistretta offers a true journey through time and untouched forests: its origins, still shrouded in mystery, emerge as visible traces of the passage of ancient peoples, which legend traces back to the myth of the Cyclops (Amestratos, later Mytistraton); its historic center, embellished with as many as 25 churches, is a gem of art dominated by the ruins of the Arab-Norman Castle; its surroundings are an oasis of wellbeing.
