Altavilla Milicia

Built around a new town founded in 1621 by Francesco Maria Beccadelli, Altavilla Milicia grew into a small Sicilian community above the Tyrrhenian Sea, east of Palermo. Its position links a cultivated coastal hinterland with the Palermo shoreline, while the Madonie Mountains rise farther east across northern Sicily. The town is closely associated with the Sanctuary of Madonna della Milicia, a longstanding focus of local religious devotion and public celebrations. Altavilla Milicia remains more residential and agricultural in character than the larger resorts along this coast.
