The castle has been completely restored and today it houses <strong>the civic museum, the historical archive and the municipal library<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t leave <strong>Raccuja<\/strong> without having tasted the typical maccheroni, <strong>threadlike egg pasta seasoned with pork sauce and salted ricotta cheese<\/strong> ( this pasta is the protagonist of the traditional summer festival); but also the baked salted ricotta cheese, the Nebrodi black pork salami, hazelnuts and mushrooms ( if it&#8217;s not the right time of the year, ask for those that have been preserved in oil and vinegar).<\/p>\n<p>From Raccuja, let&#8217;s move toward <strong>Floresta<\/strong>. While travelling, on the road between the two towns, you will come across a series of ancient tholoi (in local dialect pagghiari &#8216;mpetra or cubburi). They are rural constructions with a circular plan, their origins are not very clear (here is a detailed map of their presence in the area: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comuneraccuja.it\/upload\/luoghi-da-visitare\/tholos\/Mappa-Itinerario-delle-THOLOS.pdf\">https:\/\/www.comuneraccuja.it\/upload\/luoghi-davisitare\/tholos\/Mappa-Itinerario-delle-THOLOS.pdf<\/a>). They look like the more famous Peloponnese structures, that&#8217;s why some local historians date them back to the first centuries of Greek colonisation in Sicily (8th-7th centuries BC). However, its certain that from the 17th century the tholoi became a refuge for local shepherds.<\/p>\n<p>Climbing a little higher up, we arrive at Floresta, which is located at 1275 metres above sea level and is <strong>the highest town in Sicily<\/strong>. Floresta looks like a town of the italian Alps. This place offers breath-taking landscapes and unspoilt nature (it is worth visiting <strong>Contrada Giuffr\u00e8<\/strong>, 7 km from the town, with its oak and maple trees forests. Floresta municipality is included in the Nebrodi Park and also touches the territory of the Alcantara River Park.<\/p>\n<p>The village maintains the feudal structure, with stone houses clustered under the bell towers of the two churches: the <strong>Mother Church of Sant&#8217;Anna<\/strong> and the <strong>one of Sant&#8217;Antonio da Padova<\/strong>. Along the streets of the historical centre there are beautiful noble palaces (<em>Palazzo Lando<\/em>, <em>Palazzo Crimi<\/em>, <em>Palazzo Municipale<\/em> and <em>Palazzo Baronale<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Before leaving, do take some time to taste the local products: the cured meats, but above all the <strong>Provola of the Nebrodi<\/strong>, a Slow Food presidium.<\/p>\n<p>Now we can set off again towards <a href=\"\/en\/?p=3051\"><strong>M<\/strong><strong>ontalbano Elicon<\/strong><strong>a<\/strong><\/a>, the third and best-known village on the itinerary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":48816,"template":"","categories":[1918,1920,1932,1928,1919],"luogo":[2958],"stagione":[1874,1877,1875,1876],"class_list":["post-62610","itinerario","type-itinerario","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arte-e-cultura-en","category-entroterra-en","category-luoghi-della-cultura-en","category-territorio-en","category-borghi-en","luogo-messina","stagione-autumn","stagione-spring","stagione-summer","stagione-winter"],"acf":{"sottotitolo":"","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Dettaglio","paragrafo_1":"<p>The <strong>Nebrodi area<\/strong> is the perfect place if you&#8217;re searching for mountain villages, forests, crystal-clear waters and the ability to create a cosy wood fire.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start our tour from <strong>Raccuja<\/strong>: a wonderful Norman-era village (11th-12th century). It is nestled on the slopes of Mount Castegnerazza, surrounded by hazelnut and olive trees.

Gothic.<\/p>\n","durata":"","distanza":"","difficolta":"","galleria":[{"ID":48821,"id":48821,"title":"CIMITERO
