Troina

Troina straddles a high ridge on the southern slopes of Sicily’s Nebrodi Mountains, a position that gave this inland town strategic importance far from the coast. At more than 1,100 metres above sea level, it is among Sicily’s highest settlements, with the uplands of Nebrodi Regional Park nearby. Troina became the first capital of Norman Sicily after Roger I captured it in the 11th century, and its historic centre retains the compact form of a mountain stronghold. The town was also the scene of the Battle of Troina in 1943, one of the hardest-fought engagements of the Allied invasion of Sicily.
