About
A 130 km journey from Caltagirone to Capizzi, where ceramic tiles meet medieval charm. Six stages, 3,024 meters of elevation gain, and a landscape that shifts from gentle hills to rugged terrain.
The scent of wild thyme fills the air as you pass the historic Church of San Giacomo, an 18th-century gem. Best walked from April to June or September to October, this spiritual route invites reflection amid Sicily’s rich heritage.
Each step connects you to the land, the stories, and the echoes of those who walked before.
