Mezzojuso, Municipality in Metropolitan City of Palermo, Italy
The town extends across 49.4 square kilometers at an elevation of 570 meters on the eastern slopes of Rocca Busambra near the San Leonardo River.
The settlement began as Manzil Yusuf under Saracen rule in the 10th century before Norman conquest in 1091 led to construction of Santa Maria delle Grazie church.
The town maintains two mother churches from the 16th century: the Latin-rite Maria Santissima Annunziata and the Byzantine Greek-rite San Nicolo di Mira.
The municipal office of Stato Civile provides genealogical research services and documentation assistance for visitors searching their family roots in the region.
During the last Sunday of Carnival, residents perform Mastro di Campo, a theatrical presentation with participants wearing 15th-century costumes.
