Serradifalco
tour.
A day trip in the heart of Sicily 
Serradifalco
is located on a hilly area, twenty- one km. away from Caltanissetta, 504 meters
above the sea level.
The town was founded in 1640 by Leonardo Lofaso
Pietrasanta
who in 1665 became Duke.
According to the tradition the name “Serradifalco”
comes from the Spanish “Sierra” that means hill, so
“area
where the eagles make their nest" | |
|
The
tour starts
from Piazza San Francesco where we can admire the homonymous church, built
in the 17century in baroque style. Then,
we go to via Duca to see the Palazzo Ducale and the “Chiesa Madre”
dedicated to San Leonardo Abate, patron saint of the town, celebrated on the second
Sunday of August. The church, built in 1740 in neoclassic style, has valuable
works by the artist Giancarlo Viviano from Palermo.
We continue our walk along the streets of the town and admire other churches:
“Chiesa Immacolata” , the small “Chiesa di San Giuseppe”.
Finally we reach the “Chiesa del Calvario” that rises on a hill
from which we can enjoy a magnificient view of the town and countryside. In front
of the church every year on holy Friday is represented “La Scinnenza”. Our
itinerary ends with a panoramic tour around the nature reserve of “Lago
Soprano”: its fauna is characterized by the numerous species of birds
and anphibians. Since
Serradifalco has a cookery vocation it is advisable to make a gastronomic stop
to better appreciate the tipycal local products such as ricotta, cheese,
salsiccia and above all the famous “stigliola”.
