Enna, Administrative capital in central Sicily, Italy
Enna is a commune in central Sicily, perched on a rocky hilltop and serving as the administrative capital of the consortium bearing its name. The old town spreads across several levels, with narrow lanes lined by bell towers and stone houses.
People have lived here since prehistoric times, and the town shifted between Arab, Norman and Spanish rule over the centuries. Each period left traces in the city walls and buildings still visible today.
The Lombardy Castle of Enna contains multiple architectural elements from different historical periods, representing centuries of Sicilian defensive architecture.
The town is best reached by car since it sits high up and streets are often steep. Comfortable shoes help when exploring the cobbled lanes and the many staircases connecting different neighborhoods.
From the highest point in town, the view stretches to Mount Etna in the east and the coast in the south on clear days. This panorama was a key reason for its military importance in earlier times.
