Santo Stefano Quisquina is a small village nestled on the slopes of the Serra Quisquina.

Numerous religious buildings date back to this period, such as the suggestive Hermitage of S. Rosalia, the place where the Palermitan Santuzza lived between 1150 and 1162.
Its territory is rich in woods, green pastures and springs of water which justify the presence of numerous drinking troughs and fountains in the town.
