The fascination of the Madonie mountains can be easily found in the castles, in the medieval villages arose around them and arranged so to crown the top of the mountains, or placed in the mild valleys.
The same fascination can also be found in the works of art, in the churches and the baronial palaces that embellish the city systems of Muslim derivation, in the archaeological sites, in the suburbane villas as well as in the small rural churches and in the flour mills placed among rich valleys and soft hills.
The territory of the Madonie mountains is an isle in the island, a paradise of earth and sky where each corner guards its perfect history and its nature.
It comes introduced in its multiple fascinating treasures through this video that, for evocative images and thoroughness of the text, is not only proposed as a didactic subsidy for those who wants to better know the beauties of the Madonie but also like a contribution to the respawn of this wonderful piece of Sicily and a stimulus for those young people wishing to spend theit own energies in the earth they born.
