Cinisi

Province of Palermo

Cinisi has a fertile area characterized by a prominent vegetation of Almond, Carob, Lemon, Fig and Ash trees.

Arabs conquered Cinisi in the 9th century BC but soon Normans occupied this land re-establishing the Christianity over the village. Thanks to Normans and its fertile area characterized by a prominent vegetation of Almond, Carob, Lemon, Fig and Ash trees, the village’s economy prospered. The most important monuments are: the Mother Church, dedicated to Santa Fara, was built in 1676 wit a precious altar made with coral, lapis lazuli and onyx. The Coaches Museum. The Casa Memoria Felicia e Peppino Impastato. The Church of SS. Sacramento, built in 1700 with a Baroque style Paolo Stagno Mausoleum. The Church of Madonna del Furi, built in 1718.
