Agira

The landscape around Agira is hilly, dry and distinctly inland, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its farming economy. Set in Sicily’s province of Enna, Agira occupies the slopes of Monte Teja above the Salso valley, in a territory of grain fields, olive groves and broad reservoir country. Lake Pozzillo, formed by a dam on the Salso River, lies nearby. In antiquity the settlement was known as Agyrion; the historian Diodorus Siculus is traditionally identified as its native son. Above the streets stand the remains of the medieval castle, while churches and stone houses trace the town’s long continuity.
