Polizzi Generosa

Once a critical and thriving city during the Middle Ages, Polizzi had "Generosa" added to its name to signify the generosity and richness of its agricultural territory. During the Renaissance, Polizzi was the link between the provinces of Messina and Palermo and a focus of great trade and commerce. As a result of this importance, there are many examples of art and architecture to admire here. The intimate medieval heart of the town gives the place a mystical sense of being lost in time. The town is laid out on the top of a rocky outcrop with 360-degree views of Parco delle Madonie.
