Chiesa Madre di San Nicola, Trecastagni

Highlight • Religious Site

The mother church stands on a wide lava stone staircase and is the most important monument of the city. Mandatory stop in the city during the autumn period when the typical 'Ottobrata' festival takes place, one of the most important gastronomic events on the island.

Silvestri Inferior Craters

Highlight • Volcano

The craters from the 1892 eruption are located right next to the road and are easily accessible from the large parking lot, just a few meters away.
Not quite the raw, pristine experience of the steaming summit region, but with a wonderful interplay of colors between the ground and the emerging vegetation.

Sapienza Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Sapienza refuge is the starting point for climbing the crater of Etna, it is also a very famous place for road cycling, as it hosted the arrival of some stages of the Giro d'Italia.

Descent Through the Lava Field at Silvestri Craters

Highlight (Segment) • Volcano

Since the road surface is sometimes very bumpy, if possible choose this route for the driveway, the road is much better in the direction of Nicolosi (09/2017)
