Sanctuary of Gibilmanna, Medieval sanctuary in Gibilmanna, Sicily.
The sanctuary rises at 800 meters altitude on the slopes of Pizzo Sant'Angelo, combining Roman, Gothic, and Norman architectural elements in its structure.
The site originated as one of six Benedictine monasteries established before 590, later experiencing transformations under Arab rule and Norman reconstruction periods.
The Museum of the Franciscan Presence exhibits regional art from the 16th to 18th centuries, including paintings, wooden statuettes, and church vestments.
The sanctuary stands 15 kilometers from Cefalù, requiring a car journey through mountain roads with parking facilities near the church entrance.
The name Gibilmanna originates from Arabic words meaning mountain and manna, referring to the substance extracted from local ash trees.
