Casalvecchio Siculo

Casalvecchio Siculo is a medieval village that dominates the Valle D'Agrò offering a wonderful panorama that ranges from Etna to the Ionian coast and the coasts of Calabria on the Strait of Messina.
It is certain that the village was under Greek domination , as evidenced by the name "Casalvecchio", a Greek term to indicate "Old farmhouse", under Islamic domination, as evidenced by the urban fabric, and under the Byzantine and Norman one, as evidenced by the Abbey of Saints Peter and Paul of Agrò , one of the oldest architectural structures in Sicily which embodies the Arab, Byzantine and Norman styles.
Its historic center retains traces of Islamic domination, with suggestive underpasses and small, winding streets dotted with monuments of considerable artistic value.
