Pollina, Medieval commune in Metropolitan City of Palermo, Italy.
Pollina is a hillside commune in the Metropolitan City of Palermo that sits at an elevation of 730 meters overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Madonie mountains. The settlement spreads across mountainous terrain that offers views toward the coast and surrounding peaks.
The settlement developed on the site of the ancient city of Apollonia and later fell under Norman rule. The Torre delle Stelle, a structure from the medieval period, marks this era of strategic importance in the region.
The Pink Stone Theatre functions as a cultural gathering space where people come to experience local performances and seasonal celebrations. This venue reflects how the community chooses to share its artistic life with visitors and neighbors.
The commune is well connected to other Sicilian destinations by the A20 and E90 highways, with a railway station offering regular services. Visitors should expect winding mountain roads and plan accordingly for travel times through the region.
Farmers in the area have long harvested manna from ash trees using traditional methods to produce a natural sweetener. This rare agricultural practice comes to life each September during a dedicated festival that draws visitors interested in witnessing this historical craft.
