The Yellow Gold Route
Dettaglio
The Yellow Gold Route is a new and original tourist itinerary that connects some of Sicily’s best-known and most popular historical and archaeological sites with as yet hardly-known and little-visited points of interest. The route offers visitors a one-of-a-kind experience.
The proposed itinerary sets off from the sea to reach the hills in the island’s hinterland, alternating between warm, pastel landscapes and dense flora with a less mild climate, the route passes through archaeological treasures and panoramas of extraordinary beauty.
The Yellow Gold Route proposes a visit to points of interest around the cities of Gela, Piazza Armerina, Aidone and Enna along the wheat route, indeed Yellow Gold, whose crops have covered this area since Greek times, characterising its economy and social life. These customs gave rise to myths and beliefs that still live on in city traditions with special celebrations today.

Gela
- Timoleon’s Walls
- Acropolis

Piazza Armerina
