The town was founded by the Siculians, and later many other peoples inhabited this magnificent village. Indeed, Greeks, Romans, Swabians and Angevins succeeded one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The village, after having suffered several destructions, was rebuilt in 1548 by Count Francesco Moncada, following the curious shape of the hill<\/strong> . Beyond<strong> the seventeenth-century Mother Church<\/strong> , with a particular pink color, here&#8217;s what to see in Centuripe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Centuripe in drone\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dkk31asYR8A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_in_Centuripe\"><\/span>What to see in Centuripe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-mausoleo-romano\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roman_Mausoleum\"><\/span>Roman Mausoleum<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=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1024px-Mausoleo_Romano_di_Centuripe.jpg\" alt=\"What to see in Centuripe - Roman mausoleum, centuripe\" class=\"wp-image-2379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1024px-Mausoleo_Romano_di_Centuripe.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1024px-Mausoleo_Romano_di_Centuripe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1024px-Mausoleo_Romano_di_Centuripe-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Mausoleo_Romano_di_Centuripe.JPG\">Caillebotte.G.<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\"> CC BY 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Roman mausoleum was a funerary building from the Roman era. From here you will have a beautiful view of Centuripe, the plain of Catania and Mount Etna, it was no coincidence that Garibaldi called Centuripe the balcony of Sicily<\/strong>. From here, a walk along the tree-lined avenue is recommended, until you reach a small square with an even more suggestive view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mausoleum is also called Corradino in honor of the Swabian Corrado Capece, who here tried to defeat the advance of the Angevins. <strong>His story, however, is very sad, after losing the battle, he was blinded and hanged in Catania by his enemies<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"

These are 5 arches lying at the foot of the hill, in which some pictorial decorations are still visible today. The first apse on the right was used as a dressing room and the second as a cold bath. In the other 3, however, the drainage channel of the swimming pool passed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Curiosity: The baths were still used for many centuries after the Romans. In fact, a coin from 1246 testifies to the use of this complex up to that time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-consiglio-top-secret-riparo-cassataro\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Secret_Council_Cassataro_Riparo\"><\/span>Top Secret Council: Cassataro Riparo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This magnificent prehistoric testimony, unknown to most, is hidden inside a small shelter of huge sandstone blocks, among olive trees and prickly pears near the Simeto river<\/strong> . Here in 1976 <strong>some cave paintings were discovered<\/strong> , the only ones known in eastern Sicily. The site was discovered in 1976 and was used as a place of worship, it can also be seen from the circular cups dug into the floor and which are linked to religious rites, as attested in other locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Riparo Cassataro, un breve viaggio alle origini dell\u2019umanit\u00e0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/evwB_7FClU4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>These paintings are the only prehistoric cave paintings so far known from eastern Sicily<\/strong> .

A series of paintings is black and is from the Neolithic period (hardly visible except with infrared photography). The other, on the other hand, is attributable to the Bronze Age and is reddish in color, obtained from minerals present in the area, ground with rudimentary tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The view of Etna from here is also very beautiful<\/strong> , even if it almost takes a back seat compared to these magnificent prehistoric finds.
