Petralia Soprana<\/strong> is a medieval gem of the Madonie range<\/strong><\/a>, located at an altitude of 1147 metres, making it one of the highest villages in the region. It overlooks a beautiful part of Sicily, with panoramas stretching from Etna to the city of Enna, and as far as the Palermo mountains.
It was inscribed among the most beautiful villages in Italy (borghi pi\u00f9 belli d’Italia) with the title of “Borgo dei Borghi” in 2018 in the competition organised by RAI.<\/p>\n

Inhabited since Antiquity (probably by the Sicani and then by the Romans), the current appearance of the village dates back to the 11th century and the arrival of the Normans and Roger of Hauteville, from which period the castle and the defences with towers, ramparts and churches date.
Outside the urban fabric, remains of the medieval fortifications and of the castle survive. <\/p>\n
