The beauty and mystery of the Castle of Mussomeli
The aura of mystery and the legends that surround the Castle of Mussomeli (also known as Castello Manfredonico), in the province of Caltanissetta, must stem from its peculiar look: it towers over the rocky base it is anchored to like a dark, enigmatic, tremendous stone ghost. The rooms built by Manfredi III Chiaramonte in the second half o...
