Chiusa Sclafani is a small village nestled on a slope in the Sosio river valley, in an area rich in naturalistic beauties.
The origins of this village are very ancient, it is thought to date back to the period of Greek domination of the area. The development of the current inhabited center took place starting from 1320, a time in which Count Matteo Sclafani worked to build the castle on the ruins of the pre-existing Saracen farmhouse.
Chiusa Sclafani is the country of cherry trees. In spring, at the time of cherry blossom, the landscape of the valley surrounding the town turns white, offering an extremely suggestive panorama.
