Later she took refuge in a cave in Monte Pellegrino in Palermo and is today the patron saint of the city. The hermitage was instead built in 1624 by the will of a Genoese merchant, who decided to honor the Saint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Eremo_di_Santa_Rosalia_alla_Quisquina_2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Hermitage of Santa Rosalia - Santo Stefano Quisquina\" class=\"wp-image-7395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Eremo_di_Santa_Rosalia_alla_Quisquina_2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Eremo_di_Santa_Rosalia_alla_Quisquina_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Eremo_di_Santa_Rosalia_alla_Quisquina_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Eremo_di_Santa_Rosalia_alla_Quisquina_2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Eremo_di_Santa_Rosalia_alla_Quisquina_2.JPG\">Figiu<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/1920px-Eremo_della_Quisquina-2-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Hermitage of Santa Rosalia - Santo Stefano Quisquina\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hermitage in the middle of the woods &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Eremo_della_Quisquina.jpg\"> John glq<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\"> CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/685px-Santa_Stefano_Quisquina_BW_2012-10-08_11-02-52.jpg\" alt=\"Grotto of Santa Rosalia - Santo Stefano Quisquina\" class=\"wp-image-7398\" style=\"width:880px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/685px-Santa_Stefano_Quisquina_BW_2012-10-08_11-02-52.jpg 685w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/685px-Santa_Stefano_Quisquina_BW_2012-10-08_11-02-52-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grotto of Santa Rosalia &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Santa_Stefano_Quisquina_BW_2012-10-08_11-02-52.JPG\"> Berthold Werner<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reach_the_Hermitage_of_Santa_Rosalia\"><\/span>How to reach the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tretreyutfdzgfsafgf-1024x480.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tretreyutfdzgfsafgf-1024x480.png 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tretreyutfdzgfsafgf-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tretreyutfdzgfsafgf-768x360.png 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tretreyutfdzgfsafgf-1536x720.png 1536w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tretreyutfdzgfsafgf.png 1648w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Panorama along the road towards the Sanctuary, Source: Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Hermitage of Santa Rosalia is located in a very beautiful place among hills and forests<\/strong>. In this regard, to get there follow the small road near the Andromeda Theater, do not take the provincial road. In this way you can admire beautiful landscapes and at times even very green, it does not even seem to be in Sicily. You can park the car in a large open space, near the statue of Santa Rosalia and then you can continue on foot along a nice path in the middle of the dense vegetation. If you wish to take a walk in the woods, you will find signs for trails near the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dove-mangiare-a-santo-stefano-quisquina\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_in_Santo_Stefano_Quisquina\"><\/span>Where to eat in Santo Stefano Quisquina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearby there is a beautiful restaurant surrounded by nature and if you want, you can also go horseback riding, as they also have a stable.
