Centuripe
A hilltop town in eastern Sicily's Enna province, Centuripe sits high above the Simeto and Dittaino valleys with broad views toward the surrounding mountains. Its origins are ancient — a Siculo-Greek settlement that came under Syracuse's influence from the 4th century BC and flourished through the Hellenistic and Roman periods, leaving significant archaeological remains. Several historic churches add to the heritage density of this modest agricultural town, which also has caves associated with sulphur and salt deposits.
