Among the works, the many Murals stand out which have given Castellana Sicula the epithet of City of Murals.

Castellana Sicula is surrounded by cultivated fields, orchards, olive groves, vineyards and numerous pastures dotted with drinking troughs and crossed by dirt roads and rural roads that offer landscapes from other times.
