Mussomeli

Located at an elevation of 650 meters above sea level, Mussomeli extends across a ridge with narrow streets and stone buildings in central Sicily.

The settlement gained the status of county in 1549 under the governance of the Lanza family, marking a significant period in its administrative development.

Every September, the town holds celebrations for the Madonna dei Miracoli, which extends to communities in London and Woking due to past emigration patterns.

The municipality offers guided tours of the Norman-Gothic Castello Manfredonico, constructed in 1370, which requires advance reservations through the local tourism office.

In response to population decline, the local administration initiated a program selling vacant properties for nominal prices to attract international buyers.
