Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Rising 606 meters above sea level, this limestone massif offers a 360-degree panorama that stretches from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Conca d'Oro valley. The trail climbs past three historic chapels, each marking a station of Santa Rosalia's journey from the royal court to her hermit cave.
Kohokohdat: At the summit's Santuario di Santa Rosalia, locals still leave handwritten notes and personal mementos at the saint's cave, a tradition tied to the 1624 plague when her bones were paraded through Palermo to end the epidemic. On September 4th each year, thousands walk this same trail barefoot at dawn carrying candles, recreating the original procession that saved the city.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- Start from the Parco della Favorita side for a gentler incline and shaded path through pine forest rather than the steep road approach.
- Wear sturdy shoes the rocky limestone path gets slippery after rain and the final stretch to the hermit cave is uneven.
- Bring binoculars: from the summit you can spot Mount Etna on clear days, and the view of Palermo's harbor and Teatro Massimo from above is spectacular.
- Stop at the third chapel, Chiesa di Santa Rosalia alle Quattro Stagioni, for a water refill there is a public fountain with fresh mountain water.

Oletko kuullut ilmaisista kävelykierroksista?
Matkustettuani yli 30 maassa, toivoisin, että joku olisi kertonut minulle tästä alusta alkaen, sillä se muutti täysin tapani kokea uudet kaupungit.
Ilmaiset kävelykierrokset. Kyllä, oikeasti ilmaiset. Ei luottokorttia. Ei piilokuluja.
Paikallinen opas, 2-3 tuntia
Tärkeimmät nähtävyydet, piilotetut helmet, paikalliset tarinat
100 % tippi-pohjainen
Oppaat ansaitsevat vain tippien kautta, joten he antavat parastaan
Tipaat sen mukaan, mikä tuntuu oikealta
Lopuksi tipaat sen, minkä koet oikeaksi
Olen tehnyt näitä monissa kaupungeissa ja ne ovat olleet lähes jokaisen matkani kohokohta. Jos vierailet kohteessa Palermo, Italy, tee tämä ensimmäisenä päivänä. Kiität minua myöhemmin.
