Antonio<\/strong>, with its spectacular staircase, is well worth a visit.<br \/>\nThe magnificent <strong>church of S. Maria Maddalena<\/strong> preserves a wonderful statue by <strong>Gagini<\/strong> dedicated to her.<br \/>\nAbove the high altar of the Mother Church, dedicated to <strong>Sant&#8217;Ambrogio, the town&#8217;s patron saint<\/strong>, is an ancient 16th century wooden crucifix by an unknown sculptor.<br \/>\nThe <strong>Church of San Nicola<\/strong> in the locality of <strong>\u2018le croci\u2019<\/strong>, is a small rock church camouflaged among the thorn bushes, carved out of a small natural cave.<\/p>\n<p>Eight kilometres from Buccheri, towards <strong>Lentini<\/strong>, in a green valley, lies a ruin in a Swabian-Gothic style. It is the solitary <strong>Church of S. Andrea<\/strong>, which was an outpost of the <em>Knights Templar<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE &#8220;NEVIERE&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because of its geographical location, Buccheri was known for its ice trade. The <em>neviere<\/em> of Buccheri were in use until the invention of the refrigerator, and had different forms: cave, dome or squared. They were built in lava stones and they can still be seen today on the upland of Mount Lauro.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADVENTURE THROUGH THE WOODS AND THE \u201c GOLE DELLA STRETTA\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the municipalities of Syracuse, Buccheri has the largest number of woods. That is why it is the perfect destination for a <a href=\"\/en\/?p=4353\">family holiday in Sicily with children and young people<\/a> plus also for those who are always looking for adventure.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most fascinating attractions of <a href=\"\/en\/?p=48211\">botanic Sicily<\/a> is the famous <em>Zelcova sicula<\/em>, an endemic plant that dates back to the Tertiary period and found in the <strong>Bosco Pisano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/parcallario.com\/\">Parcallario<\/a>, the first <strong>adventure park<\/strong> in the heart of the Hyblean mountains, is waiting for you in the Bosco Santa Maria.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a greater challenge, you can <a href=\"\/en\/?p=1218\"><strong>go canyoning<\/strong><\/a> in the Gole della Stretta di Buccheri, with its stunning inlets between rock and water, carved by the action of the waters of the San Leonardo river. You can choose to cross them by swimming or by dinghy.<\/p>\n<p>In some parts, the cliffs of the gorge are sheer and are often used by climbers.<br \/>\nThere are small man made caves carved into the slopes of the gorge: these are <strong>Castelluccio tombs<\/strong>, from the ancient Sicilian Bronze Age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CURIOSITIES ABOUT MONTE LAURO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buccheri was once the homeland of the <strong>stonecutters<\/strong>. This is a dying art and today there are very few artisans who are still able to carve the lava stone that was extracted from the caves of the volcanic plateau of Mount Lauro.<br \/>\nThe <strong>fine variety of olive &#8220;Tonda Iblea\u201d<\/strong> from Mount Lauro, is used to produce the extra virgin olive oil of the &#8220;Monti Iblei&#8221; and which has obtained the DOP certification with the geographical mention &#8220;Monte Lauro&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The local gastronomy delights to enjoy: pork and wild boar salami, ricotta and cheeses, <em>maccaruneddi<\/em> (home made pasta with pork or wild boar sauce and ricotta cheese) and <em>u pani copipi<\/em> ( home made bread seasoned with tomato sauce, red hot pepper and olive oil).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":50147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1920,1932,1919],"tags":[],"luogo":[],"stagione":[1874,1877,1875,1876],"class_list":["post-62543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entroterra-en","category-luoghi-della-cultura-en","category-borghi-en","stagione-autumn","stagione-spring","stagione-summer","stagione-winter"],"acf":{"galleria":[{"ID":50152,"id":50152,"title":"BUCCHERI GOLE DELLA STRETTA","filename":"BUCCHERI-GOLE-DELLA-STRETTA-scaled.jpg","filesize":631451,"url":"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BUCCHERI-GOLE-DELLA-STRETTA-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/en\/buccheri-2\/buccheri-gole-della-stretta-2\/","alt":"BUCCHERI GOLE DELLA STRETTA","author":"32","description":"inr","caption":"ph.
