Area: Messina surroundings
Santa Domenica Vittoria is a small village located along the eastern border of the Nebrodi Park, not far from the source of the Alcantara river.
The town is of feudal origin and dates back to the 17th century. The oldest memories are linked to the possession that the Spadaforas had from the Barons of Maletto in the 14th century. The town took on its current name in 1628, as a fiefdom of the Pagano family who purchased it from the marquis of Roccella, Michele Spadafora Maniaci.
The small village is located in a place of notable naturalistic interest: located at the gates of the park of Nebrodi is one of the best observation points of the northern side of Etna. Furthermore, the low light pollution makes the area a privileged observation point of the starry sky for amateur photographers and astronomers.
