Gratteri

Carlo Columba - CC2.5

Gratteri is one of the most evocative and mysterious medieval villages in Sicily.
Located on the first slopes of the Madonie and dominated by the Pizzo di Pilo massif, Gratteri is known as the terrace on the Tyrrhenian Sea: its center urban center, arranged like an amphitheater, enjoys a wonderful panorama that ranges, between valleys, fields and pastures up to the sea.
It is a land of ancient origins, rich in scenic beauty and monumental: it was inhabited since the Bronze Age and the Normans built numerous churches between the 11th and 12th centuries.
Gratteri has been defined as the most mysterious village of the Madonie: ancient stories and legends give charm to every place.
Its territory also attracts sports and nature lovers: panoramically indescribable landscapes, wild nature, suggestive caves, among which the Grotta di Grattara stands out, and uncontaminated air.
