The Sicily region
Sicily's history spans some 6000 years. While Rome was still a small village of poor shepherds Sicily boasted a magnificent civilization with towns which could challenge in power and splendour the cities of the Greek motherland.
Since prehistoric times different peoples landed in Sicily attracted by its beauty, fertility and luxuriant vegetation. The island has seen many different cultures flourish on its soil, which have left behind a trail of impressive monuments, buildings and works of art which still today inspire wonder and admiration. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, French and Spaniards have all left in their wake their mark on its appearance.
Many of these peoples felt at home in Sicily, the land Homer described as " the wonderful island of Helios" the God of the Sun, the dream land of the ancients where "everything grew without being sown". It was a supremely desirable land, an exceptional crossroads of history where different races and civilisations merged
Castelbuono area
Castelbuono sits near Sicily's northern coast, with the island's wild Madonie mountains behind it. At its heart is a wonderful 14th century fortress, which accommodates a museum and fresco-adorned chapel, whilst elsewhere, a fountain-decorated piazza, romantic churches and inviting streets make wandering around pure delight. And after your pottering, hidden restaurants and outdoor cafes are perfect for resting your feet and tucking into heavenly Sicilian home cooking.
When you want to broaden your horizons, the local area has a wealth of attractions. Whatever kind of break you're on – maybe early or late season deals or last-minute summer holidays with Thomson – you'll love Madonie National Park, the astonishingly beautiful area lying next to Castelbuono. Interwoven with cycle routes, footpaths and bridleways, its rugged peaks and slopes will excite intrepid explorers.
