In the northeast region of Sicily, Italy, is a small prehistoric town called Troina, which boasts all the trappings of, well, a small prehistoric town. There’s a crumbled castle and vestiges of an ancient cemetery, walking trails once trod by shepherds, and cobblestone paths beneath arches. Summer brings fairs, festivals, and theater performances; and the stars, far from urban interference, shine extra bright.

The sky isn’t the only striking sight; Troina is nicknamed the “Balcony of Sicily” for its views of the surrounding landscape, which includes the still-active volcano Mount Etna to the east. If you haven’t already decided to move there immediately, this next revelation might do the trick: City officials will sell you a house in Troina’s historical district for a single euro (or just over $1).
