Chiesa di San Giuseppe

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage.

Vassallaggi

Ruins af walls, houses, roads tombs and sacred places are a precious witness and todat several objects are preserved in Sicily's most famous museums.

An average-length tour (about 5 km) by car or by cycle. To make the tour easier we choose St. Francis church, Baglio's Mansion and Giunta's caves as first stage of the tour. Then we go on road 122 and on the left we see the upland of Portella del Tauro, but we keep on road 122 and get onto road 33 towards Roccella to reach Vassallaggi area. The site is known since 1800, but the first excavations began in 1905 and proceded until 1960s, when traces of human belonging to the Bronze Age were discovered. Ruins af walls, houses, roads tombs and sacred places are a precious witness and todat several objects are preserved in Sicily's most famous museums. The best time for excursions are spring and fall. No limits for the sacred area. The harshness of the rocky groud ma be the only difficulty.
