Cattedrale di Maria Santissima Delle Vittorie

Reviewed By tajo123

Piazza Armerina and the surrounding towns and villages of the Enna offer incomparable views, hikes, art and acheological centers and the city is the most interesting base for their exploration. A pre-Roman town, it harbors houses, castles, and churches from the Greek, Roman, Norman, Turkish, and Sicilian eras. The central cathedral, N.S. de la Vittoria, or our Lady of Victory, was dedicated as thanks for the defeat of the Muslim invaders at the Battle of Lepanto. The fact that it did not change its name to Our lady of the Assumption as did so many churches in the 19th century gives proof of Sicilians' respect for their history and the heroes who defended her right through WWII. It would be worth hiring a truly knowledgeable guide (inquire ahead through the City's offices) for a day to lead a walking tour of the twisting, climbing streets lined with important historic sites from each period of the town's history, then on to Morgantina for hours of exploration of the amazing redoubt of the Sicilian/Greek population that fled the coast and held off the Romans for decades, finally being dragged off in chains, leaving their doors open and their temples unguarded. According to the internet, Piazza Armerina celebrates the Palio dei Normanni, a re-enactment of the entrance of the Norman Count Roger I (of Cefalu and Palermo fame) to the city. Around August 12-14. I did not attend this festival.
