Montalbano Elicona - Walk through the village
The historic center of Montalbano Elicona develops along narrow, stone-paved streets, which climb from the village up to the castle. Walking among the alleys, one encounters medieval houses, carved portals, wrought-iron balconies and small glimpses of the surrounding mountains.
Over the centuries the village has been crossed by different peoples: Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians and Aragonese have each left their mark, without erasing what came before. For this reason Montalbano tells many eras together, in a single path among ancient stones and daily life.
The main square is the heart of the village, a place where people still stop to chat today. Discovering the historic center means walking slowly, looking at every detail.
