Piana degli Albanesi is the most important Albanian colony in Sicily.
It was founded in the second half of the 15th century, when, following the Turkish invasion of the Balkan peninsula, groups of Albanian refugees sought refuge in the nearby coasts of Sicily and still retains their ethnic-linguistic identity.
Particularly interesting is the Late medieval urban fabric of the town with the typical local stone fountains.
Piana degli Albanesi is also nature: bordered by high mountains, it is reflected on a splendid lake.
