It was given by Ferdinand II of Bourbon to Admiral Nelson in 1799, where the former residence of his family is designated &#8220;Nelson&#8217;s castle&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Continuing along the SS 284, one crosses the <strong>Maletto plateau<\/strong> up to <strong>Bronte<\/strong> (at 6 km from the junction for Maletto), known for its pistachio crops.<\/li>\n<li>16 km after Bronte, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sicile-sicilia.net\/adrano\"><strong>Adrano<\/strong><\/a> is another town that preserves an interesting heritage, with the Norman Castle housing the Archaeological Museum.<\/li>\n<li>From Adrano, one continues by leaving the town via the contrada Roccazello (or via Solichiatta), along the SP Monte San Leo, towards Nicolosi (formerly Trazzera Adrano-Bivio Sicilo), crossing olive trees, almond trees and vineyards, then the chestnut groves of the Feliciosa. At a junction one can make a detour to <strong>Mount Intraleo<\/strong> (approx. 4 km).<\/li>\n<li>One then descends towards Nicolosi to close the loop by taking, at the end of the route, a portion of
