Yes fog, you got it right. Many believe that in Sicily there is always a mild and sunny climate, but this is not the case. Indeed, temperatures and weather conditions vary a lot, depending on the area in which you are located. The city being located in the heart of Sicily has a much harsher climate than the coastal area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_in_Enna\"><\/span>What to see in Enna<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-castello-di-lombardia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Castle_of_Lombardy\"><\/span>Castle of Lombardy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Enna_-_Il_Castello_di_Lombardia-1024x739.jpg\" alt=\"Lombardy Castle, Enna\" class=\"wp-image-6707\" style=\"width:880px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Enna_-_Il_Castello_di_Lombardia-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Enna_-_Il_Castello_di_Lombardia-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Enna_-_Il_Castello_di_Lombardia-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Enna_-_Il_Castello_di_Lombardia.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Torre_Pisana,_Castello_di_Lombardia,_Enna_EN,_Sicily,_Italy_-_panoramio.jpg\">trolvag<\/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 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Torre_Pisana_Castello_di_Lombardia_Enna_EN_Sicily_Italy_-_panoramio-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Lombardy Castle, Enna\" class=\"wp-image-6706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Torre_Pisana_Castello_di_Lombardia_Enna_EN_Sicily_Italy_-_panoramio-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Torre_Pisana_Castello_di_Lombardia_Enna_EN_Sicily_Italy_-_panoramio-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Torre_Pisana_Castello_di_Lombardia_Enna_EN_Sicily_Italy_-_panoramio-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Torre_Pisana_Castello_di_Lombardia_Enna_EN_Sicily_Italy_-_panoramio.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Under the castle walls &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Torre_Pisana,_Castello_di_Lombardia,_Enna_EN,_Sicily,_Italy_-_panoramio.jpg\"> trolvag<\/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 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Enna_from_Castello-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Panorama from the castle of Lombardia, Enna\" class=\"wp-image-6698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Enna_from_Castello-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Enna_from_Castello-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Enna_from_Castello-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Enna_from_Castello.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Enna seen from the Castle &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Enna_from_Castello.jpg\"> Wittylama<\/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<p><strong>It is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Sicily<\/strong> , such as <a href=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/castello-manfredonico-o-di-mussumeli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Manfredonico castle<\/a> even if there are no real internal rooms to visit.
