Eremo di Liccia

The Hermitage of Santa Maria di Liccia is located in the Castelbuono area, nestled in the greenery of the Madonie Park, in a scenic and isolated location that underscores its contemplative vocation. Its origins date back to the 16th century, when it was founded as a place of spiritual retreat and Marian devotion, linked to the presence of local religious communities and the hermit tradition widespread in the Madonie area.

Over the centuries, the hermitage has undergone various transformations and periods of abandonment, followed by restoration projects that have preserved its essential structure and historical value. Today, it represents not only an important testimony to spirituality and monastic life, but also a popular hiking and cultural destination, part of the natural and religious heritage of the Madonie.
