Enna

We went to Enna. For those of you who do crossword puzzles, "Enna" is the 4 letter word for "Sicilian town". From there we could see Mt. Etna, the 4 letter word for volcano in Sicily.

Enna consists of two parts, high Enna and low Enna.  There is a 3 degree difference in temperature between the two.  Upper Enna is the oldest part and is home to 70 churches. It is the highest point in Sicily.

We went to the highest peak to see the castle.  This castle is also known as The Lombardy Castle.

Lombardy Castle

From here you could see for miles around.

In the distance you can see another town. There is an absence of colour in these towns and cities as all is built of stone.  As you can see the castle was built in a strategic place.

I have to thank my nephew, Tiziano, who took time from his studies to drive us to see the sights.
