Mussomeli is located in Sicily,in the hilly area of the province of Caltanissetta. It raises at 750 meters above sea level and its pretty old town betrays its Punic origins. The whole area around Mussomeli was inhabited very early, both for the fertility of the territory that for the place rich in rocks and heights from where be able to control the potential arrival of enemies.
It is assumed that already in pre-Hellenic times, that is, before 1500 a.C., here there were settlements of Sicani and Siculi. As evidence of this, archaeological sites have been found that can represent an interesting visit, walking through the paths immersed in the vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub. The historic center is undoubtedly worth a visit, but what most attracts tourists is the magnificent Chiaramonte Castle,perched on an impervious rocky outcrop for almost 700 years!
«Foreigners – declares councillor Nigrelli – have been enchanted by the orography of our territory. Mussomeli is located 700m above sea level. Almost every house in our old town enjoys a lovely view. There is no shortage of sunshine: it only rains 20 days a year and the panorama is unique. … Mussomeli is one of the safest cities in Italy. No robberies have been reported for years, thanks to a sophisticated video surveillance system and the presence of numerous police forces patrolling the city. “
