The Territory of Mazzarino

Discover Mazzarino
Mazzarino, a charming village in southern-central Sicily, stands out for its rich historical, artistic, and cultural heritage. Located on a plateau at the foot of the Erei mountains, it offers a hilly panorama with vast wooded areas and agricultural land. Its historic centre is adorned with monuments of great value, such as the Basilica Maria Santissima del Mazzaro, a baroque masterpiece that houses an ancient Byzantine icon of the Madonna, and the Sanctuary of the Most Holy Crucifix, famous for its legendary stories and centuries-old rituals during local festivities.
Among the points of interest are also the Palazzo Alberti and the Convent of the Carmelite Fathers. Recent restorations have revived the Church of Saint Ignatius and the Jesuit College, now home to a museum of sacred art. Mazzarino was nominated for the title of Italy's Most Beautiful Village, thanks to its ability to blend history, traditions, and a hospitality that captivates visitors, immersed in an atmosphere from another era.
