Visit Isnello

Isnello is a small Madonite village located on a cliff at an altitude of 530 meters above sea level that counts less than 2000 inhabitants. It’s known for its wooded landscapes with specimens of monumental trees and its characteristic city center with an Arab structure made up of narrow alleys and sudden changes in slope.

Arriving in Isnello it is pleasant to just walk around the town and discover the inside of some of the numerous churches: the Mother Church, famous for its stuccos, the marble tabernacle and the wooden choir, the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore with its bell tower covered with colored majolica which houses valuable seventeenth-century paintings, but also the Church of SS. Annunziata and the Church of Maria SS. of the Rosary.

Furthermore, the particular conditions of the territory with some areas that are totally devoid of night lights, made it perfect to create a very important astronomical observatory a few years ago, the international center for astronomical sciences Gal Hassin, which is a worldwide place of study destined also to educational projects.
