Facing it, in the center of the square, stands the obelisk erected for the 400th anniversary of the town’s founding. Turn right onto Via P. Pagliarello to admire the church’s side elevation, then turn right again onto Via Petilia and continue along Via Giuseppe Verdi until you reach the monument in honor of Blessed José Gregorio Hernández, the doctor of the poor. From the little square, continue to the right along Via Cesare Cantù to reach the steps of the Church of the Cross, built not so long ago (it already existed in 1795). Its cross was used for the “Scinnenza,” a Sicilian dialect term meaning “descent,” referring to the representation of the deposition of Jesus from the cross, a central moment of Holy Week.
The itinerary continues by going up Via del Calvario, turning left onto Via Francesco Crispi, and then right onto Via Vincenzo Miceli Sopo until you find Villa Flora with the war memorial on your left. Walk along Corso Umberto I eastwards and go down to the right to find the Five Springs, then head north along Via Vittorio Emanuele II to the Church of Santa Maria dell’Itria in the square of the same name. At this point it’s worth skirting the square to reach Via del Campo, where on the right you can admire some murals, then turn back. From now on the route becomes more continuous; once you turn right onto Via Portella, go down left onto Via Vincenzo Miceli Sopo and take Via Roma to reach the Church of the Carmel and its beautiful park. From Via Milano, take Viale Belvedere to the Church of Monserrat and its panoramic viewpoint, Belvedere la Petra.
Continue along the road, leaving the town and enjoying the magnificent countryside for about 2 km until you reach the junction with the Statale delle Solfare. Continue about a hundred meters south until you meet the SS123 and visit the Castellaccio of Delia. Continue further along the SS123 to the remains of watermills; turn right to admire the gorge of the Salso River and turn back, rejoin the SS190, and immediately on the right you’ll find the former Church of the Madonna delle Grazie and the murals in Contrada Grazia. Continue along Via Armando Diaz to the Pro Loco, then rejoin Corso Umberto I to the Church of Sant’Antonio; turn right into the square and go down Via Papa Giovanni XXIII. At the end of the road, turn left again onto Via Armando Diaz until you find the murals on the right. The final stop takes you to Piazza Castello with its Lucchesi baronial palace and the Archaeological and Rural Civilization Museum. Go up Via Municipio, where the granary of the Prince of Palagonia once stood, and return to the parking area.
