🌧️【Unplanned Detour】A Rainy Visit to Enna’s “City of the Dead” 💀🏘️

🚗 How We Stumbled Upon It On a foggy autumn evening in Enna, after a hearty Sicilian meal, we drove aimlessly—until the road ended at a massive walled compound. At first glance, it looked like a miniature town... until we realized: This was no ordinary neighborhood. ⚰️ The “Houses” of Eternal Rest Thousands of small chapels, each a family tomb (not mere headstones) Architectural styles spanning centuries: Some Baroque, some Neoclassical Personal altars: Fresh flowers 💐, crosses ✝️, even Renaissance-era plaques Eerie beauty: Raindrops glowed like tears under the streetlamps 💭 Why It Matters Historical wealth: Only prosperous communities built such elaborate tombs. Cultural insight: Sicilians honor ancestors like living neighbors—lighting candles, leaving letters. Raw humanity: No tourists, just locals visiting loved ones under umbrellas ☔. 📸 The Silver Lining Caught Lombardy Castle looming through the mist—a ghostly guardian watching over both the living and the dead. #SicilyUnfiltered #TravelSerendipity
