If you are interested in visiting one of them, we recommend going to Castiglione di Sicilia, which is a town of 5,000 people placed on a 621 m a.s.l. fortress overlooking the Alcantara Gorges Valley.<br \/>\nCastiglione di Sicilia is called &#8220;the city of wine&#8221; because it is rich in large cultivated lands and wineries that you can visit to learn how to produce and bottle Sicilian wine.<br \/>\nThe town is an example of medieval architecture characterized by narrow streets around the main square &#8216;Lauria&#8217;. The bridge that crosses the Alcantara river dates back to the same period as the town: for this reason it is called Medieval Bridge. It is worth visiting Saint Peter&#8217;s Cathedral, the Church of the Benedectine Nuns, Saint Anthony&#8217;s Church and the 18th-century Church dedicated to Madonna della Catena.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;65&#8243;
