Carini

Carini has served as a fortified settlement in northwestern Sicily since the Middle Ages. Its old centre lies on the lower slopes of the Monti di Palermo, while the municipality extends toward the Tyrrhenian coast and the plain west of Palermo. Castello di Carini, a medieval stronghold altered repeatedly over the centuries, remains the town’s principal historic monument. Carini also holds a place in Sicilian oral tradition through the 16th-century tale of the Baroness of Carini, preserved in a well-known popular ballad. Its historic streets provide a more local counterpoint to nearby Palermo’s urban scale. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Carini and northwestern Sicily.
