Santa Cristina Gela

Santa Cristina Gela sits near Lake Piana degli Albanesi in western Sicily, where rolling inland hills rise between Palermo and the island’s agricultural interior. This small municipality is one of Sicily’s Arbëreshë communities, founded by Albanian settlers who arrived in the late 17th century. That heritage remains central to local identity through the Arbëreshë language and Byzantine-rite Catholic tradition associated with the nearby Eparchy of Piana degli Albanesi. The lake and surrounding uplands give the town a markedly different setting from Palermo’s coast.
