VILLAROSA

 

Villarosa is a tiny town of almost 6,500 standing at 523m a.s.l. Founded in 1762 by Placido Notarbolo, it enjoyed a period of economic prosperity and growth in the 19th century notably due to a thriving mining industry in its area. 

The Chiesa Madre dedicated to San Giacomo Maggiore and the Ducal Palace are the most attractive buildings in town.
