Palazzo Adriano is one of the most charming villages in the Sicilian hinterland, located in the Monti Sicani area among green landscapes, hills and silence that invite you to explore. The village is famous for its unique history: founded by Albanian communities who arrived in Sicily in the 15th century, it still preserves the Arbëreshë traditions, language and culture that make 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), testimony to the harmonious coexistence of the two communities. The streets of the town centre are a maze of stone houses, historic buildings and views that tell a long story of identity and spirituality.
The surrounding area offers beautiful nature trails, ideal for walks through woods, along streams and with views that embrace the entire Sicani territory. Living traditions, evocative religious festivals and a welcoming atmosphere make Palazzo Adriano a perfect destination in every season for those who want to discover the most authentic and least known Sicily.
