Castronovo di Sicilia

Built around a fortified hilltop, Castronovo di Sicilia grew into a small inland town above the upper Platani River valley in central Sicily. Monte Kassar, which rises beside the town, has yielded archaeological evidence of settlement from antiquity, placing the modern community in a landscape occupied long before its medieval streets took shape. The historic core climbs toward the remains of the castle that gave Castronovo—“new castle”—its name. Away from Sicily’s coasts, the town belongs to an agricultural interior of rolling fields and rugged limestone ridges.
