The best cycling routes around Santa Ninfa

It was built in 1615 at the behest of the Municipality to commemorate the completion of the imposing Bigini aqueduct and the city's water network. The author of the work was the Neapolitan Orazio Pigrone, an expert in hydraulics, as evidenced by the inscription on the plaque placed between the first and second basins. It is a marble fountain about nine meters high with four tiers of basins. A niche, surmounted by a shell motif on the fourth spout, houses a marble statue: a nymph sits on a rock and holds a jug in her right hand from which water flowed, and with her left she holds a cornucopia, the quintessential symbol of abundance. The baroque style of the ensemble is evident from the volutes that repeat on the three floors of the construction, while a late baroque pediment with a curved line defines it at the top. In the fountain, the image of a palm tree is repeated several times, a symbol of the Tagliavia family; today the palm tree is the emblem of the city and is part of the city's coat of arms, along with the legend Palmosa civitas castrum vetranum, with a clear allusion to Selinunte, called "palmosa" in the third canto of the Aeneid. A testimony to a late 16th-17th century Tuscan-Roman Mannerism, of which Ammanati's fountains are the highest interpretation, the fountain stands out on a stone-clad wall defined at the top by a cornice and a voluted architectural element bearing the city's coat of arms.

The Parish Church of San Giovanni Battista is located in Piazza Regina Margherita in Castelvetrano (TP). Built between 1589 and 1660, it is the religious heart of the city. It houses the splendid marble statue of the patron saint sculpted by Antonello Gagini in 1522 and the frescoes by Gennaro Pardo.

The Church of Purgatory, in the municipality of Partanna (TP), stands on the site of an Arab watchtower, incorporated in the 14th century, as a bell tower, into a church dedicated to San Vito, the city's patron saint, by the will of the Grifeo Lords of Partanna, and later dedicated to SS. Salvatore, which served as the Mother Church until 1625.

The largest work of art in Europe and the memory of an earthquake that indelibly changed the history of the province. An almost mystical and extraordinarily evocative place.

A village uninhabited for decades, ever since the entire population was relocated en masse to a brand-new town. Three thousand people, the exodus of survivors of the 1968 earthquake that destroyed entire towns in the provinces of Trapani and Agrigento. Today, only façades remain, baroque railings, old majolica tiles, a tangle of houses leaning against the bell tower of the main church, and stairways that look like they were cut out with scissors on a sheet of paper. Before the earthquake, Poggioreale was a delightful baroque village, with noble palaces, the square with the club, the inn, and everything else. The ruins bear witness to a tragedy from 40 years ago: fear, escape, separation. A place that, due to its beauty and the evocative atmosphere it evokes, has been the setting for numerous famous films: it is here that Tornatore filmed some scenes from Malena and The Star Man. An island out of time, with the hands of the clock stopped on the terrible night of January 15, 1968.

The Belice Gate, or Belice Gate, is a stainless steel installation by Pietro Consagra erected on the road leading to the town of Gibellina Nuova. The work recalls the town lights that were once displayed for the holidays, but over time it has also become a symbol of the Belice Valley. It was erected following the artistic reconstruction of Gibellina, as desired by Mayor Ludovico Corrao. The work is 26 meters tall.
