Castellana Sicula is a tiny village with a charming old town centre characterised by many interesting cultural attractions.
Castellana Sicula was founded in the first half of the 17th century by a group of farmers who found a large fertile territory to start their production. Later, in the 18th century, the village was acquired by the Duke of Ferrandina, who built the old town centre of the current Castellana Sicula and gave it his Spanish wife’s family name (Castellana). The most important monuments are: The Church of S.Barbara, built in 1799 which includes impressive works of art made by the artist Bagnasco; The Church of S.Francesco di Paola; The Civic Museum located in the Archaeological area of Muratore, includes important finings dating back to the Romans and Meddle ages.
