Calatafimi Segesta
But historical events also transpired here in more recent times: in 1860, indeed, Garibaldi’s and Bourbon’s troops fought a famous battle on these grounds. The Ossuary of Pianto Romano, a Garibaldi monument holding the remains of the fighters of Calatafimi battle in 1860, is undoubtedly a major highlight.
The town is also a beautiful centre with ancient and intricate medieval streets, courtyards and stone stairways. From there, you can enjoy the lush surrounding nature including the town’s natural oasis: the Angimbè wood.
The ancient castle of Eufemio, built on the hill to the west of the town, still stands as the town’s ever-vigilant protector. While only a few walls remain of its past splendour, it still exudes the most mysterious charm.
