The Castelvecchio castle in Mazzarino – not far from the city of Caltanissetta – is also known by the locals as Un Cannuni, a dialect term which means cannon; the nickname derives from its single tower which soars into the sky like a cannon aiming at the moon.
With its beautiful churches and old palazzos, Mazzarino which has just be officially nominated city of art is a true jewel of the crown; it has a lot to offer, from the amazing palazzo Brancifiore and the Baroque basilica of Maria SS to the beautiful Byzantine remains; the place can also boast a prehistoric necropolis which was uncovered on mount Disueri.
