The Madonie Park occupies a vast area of Sicily and presents a great variety of landscapes and characteristics.
From the Northern coastline to central Sicily you can visit towns of extraordinare historic value. All these small towns surround the park itself, with its areas of natural beauty.
Towns gently poised upon hilltops, stone buildings graciously interacting with the hills themselves seem to counterbalance the natural landscape. The park is home to an incredibily vast assortment of endemic and rare plant species and various animal species. It is also an area with an interesting geological history, since these parts of the island were the first to emerge in ancient times.
Today the park belongs to the European Geopark Network and is an interesting area of research for scientists from around the world.
Other areas of interest are the cultural and anthropic aspects, the culinary traditions, the craftmanship, and small local handmade products. All these activities tell the tale of a recent past made of wisdom, crafts and agriculture.
