Legend of the treasure of San Marco


leggenda-tesoro-di-san-marco-corleone

The ruin of the church of San Marco in Corleone is one of the most fascinating and mysterious churches in the city of Corleone.
It is said that there is an underground path that connects the crypt of the mother church with that of the church of San Marco. Legend has it that if at the stroke of midnight on April 25th you had crossed the entire journey with a glass full of water without dropping even a drop of a treasure, it was possible to find a treasure.
The legend of the treasure of San Marco is linked to the tradition of the "Sicilian Trovatura", that is, the discovery of precious goods only following the execution of rituals to break bond spells.
