Randazzo

Randazzo lies in the upper Alcantara Valley, where the northern slopes of Mount Etna meet the wooded foothills of the Nebrodi Mountains. The Alcantara flows east from this upland setting toward the Ionian Sea. The historic core retains a dense fabric of dark lava-stone buildings, reflecting the town’s close relationship with Etna. The Basilica di Santa Maria, noted for its Gothic portal, joins San Martino and San Nicola among the principal medieval churches of the old town. Randazzo developed as an important medieval centre on routes connecting Etna, the Nebrodi and eastern Sicily. Browse other webcams across Sicily to place Randazzo in a wider geographic context.
