Palazzo - Edificio in Salaparuta

The cluster is in the inland Belice valley, among cultivated hills between the lower slopes of the Sicani area and the plain that opens toward the south-western coast. The Belice River system shapes this part of the province, and the ruins of old Poggioreale from the 1968 Belice earthquake are a known landmark in the immediate area. Gibellina Nuova and Salemi are the nearest larger centres with everyday services and historic cores. This part of western Sicily is known for vineyards, olive groves and earthquake-rebuilt towns rather than for a protected coast or a major mountain landscape within the immediate radius.
