Petralia Soprana, a village told through its squares
Loreto, Duomo and Quattro Cannoli mark the historic centre.
Piazza Loreto, piazza Duomo and the Quattro Cannoli fountain form a walking narrative of Petralia Soprana. Visit Sicily describes the viewpoints, churches and houses surrounding them.
The village shows how a square can provide both orientation and memory. Its heritage is best understood through relationships between buildings and people, beyond an individual monumental façade.
