Sutera is a charming medieval village that is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is one of the stages of the Magna Via Francigena, an ancient itinerary that already in the 11th century connected Palermo to Agrigento.
The name "Sutera" derives from the Greek word "sotér" which means " savior". It is a name with which the inhabitants have in history considered the mountain that protects them. According to legend, Sutera has mythological origins that attribute its foundation to Daedalus, a famous Athenian architect who escaped from the labyrinth of Crete and was hosted in Sicily by sovereign Cocalo.
