VALGUARNERA
CAROPEPE
Valguarnera
Caropepe stands at a height of 590m a.s.l. in a hilly area of the
Enna province. It totals almost 11,000 inhabitants.
Founded
in 1628 by Francesco Valguarnera, it saw a remarkable growth during
the 18th century notably associated with the thriving sulfur mining
industry in the area.
The
Chiesa Madre dedicated to Saint Christopher and the 1700’s
Palazzo del Municipio (the Town Hall), in the precincts of the former
Monte Frumentario, are the most attractive buildings.
Relics
dating from between the 7th century BC and the 14th century AD have
been unearthed in the archaeological area of Rossomanno, in the
town surroundings.
