Enna: Sicily’s Highest Medieval Town & Hidden Gem 🏰

📍 The "Belvedere of Sicily" – Perched at 931m altitude, Enna is Sicily’s highest provincial capital, offering panoramic views of rolling hills and distant Etna. 🚗 How to Get There From Catania → Palermo: Highway: Quick but boring. Scenic Route (Recommended!): Rural roads with Tuscany-like landscapes—green in winter, golden in autumn. 🏰 What to See 1️⃣ Lombardy Castle (Currently under restoration) 2️⃣ Umberto I Street: Lined with churches, piazzas, and local eateries. 3️⃣ Archaeological Museum & Villa Romana del Casale (UNESCO mosaics nearby). 4️⃣ Outlet Shopping: Yes, even in this ancient town! ⏳ Time Needed 2-3 hours for the old town + coffee break. Day trip if combining with nearby villages. 🍝 Where to Eat Bar dell’Angolo (Piazza Umberto I, 1): Affordable Italian fast food—clean, tasty, and local! 🌿 Why Visit? Zero crowds – A peaceful alternative to touristy Taormina. History layers: Neolithic → Greek → Roman → Medieval.
