Polizzi Generosa is located on a high cliff that extends along the southern slopes of the Madonie.
Polizzi Generosa has ancient origins as evidenced by the finds found in its territory dating back to the IV-III century BC: some identify it with Athens Sicilian of which the historian Diodorus Siculus wrote.
Polizzi Generosa was then disputed by Byzantines, Arabs and Normans and, embellished by the peoples who dominated it, today boasts an extraordinary artistic heritage.
