Rocca di Cerere
Historic Site
Open Details
This magnificent fortress is located in the central area of Sicily, on the Erei Mountains and it's one of the main symbols of Henna.
The name "Cerere" is due to the consacration of the territory to the Ktonic deities, Demeter and Persephone.
In fact, Cerere is one of the many names used to call the divinity, in this case that one the Romans attributed to her.

Castello di Lombardia
Castle
Open Details
Who doesn't love Castles, right?
Castello Lombardia is an incredible building built in 1076 and it's the largest and the most ancient one in whole Italy.
At the bottom of the edifice there was the temple dedicated to Demeter, once erected by Sicans.
If endless staircases don't scare you, don't miss visiting Torre Pisana, the tower of the Castle. It takes 300 steps to get there, but it's worth the effort.

Speaking of Castles and towers, I want to introduce you another important symbol of Henna.

Lake Pergusa (Pergoussa, Πυργούσσα in Ancient Greek) is a lake in Sicily, set between a group of mountains in the Erean Mountains chain near Pergusa, 5 km from Enna, Italy. It is a vital stop in the migratory trajectory of a great number of birds. In addition to birds, which are by far the main inhabitants of the Pergusa nature reserve, there are also interesting species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates found here. At an elevation of 670 m, the lake's surface area is 1.83 km2.
