Eremo di Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina

The hermitage includes a church, a crypt, and multiple monastic cells built into the mountainside at an elevation of 986 meters.

The hermitage originated in 1624 when two workers from Palermo discovered a cave with an inscription marking Saint Rosalia's twelve-year residence.

The hermitage maintains its spiritual significance through annual pilgrimages where visitors carry Saint Rosalia's relics to commemorate her presence.

The Pro Loco organization of Santo Stefano Quisquina manages the site, providing guided tours and information about the religious complex.

The Itinerarium Rosaliae, established in 2015, connects this hermitage through a 180-kilometer trail across natural reserves and villages.
