Wine, water and faith
This tour combines nature, agriculture and religion.
A few kilometres from Alcamo, are two lonely sanctuaries dedicated to the Madonna (Santuario Madon-
na del Ponte / Santuario Maria SS del Romitello).
The first one is in the territory of Partinico; the second
one in the territory of Borgetto. The Santuario M. SS
del Romitello is famous for its natural spring and protected areas.
From Partinico one can easily reach the large tracts
of land devoted to citrus groves, the ancient village of
Parrini and some towers, such as the Torre Solitano
and the Torre Castrone. The small village has also
ancient windmills and watermills. The tour through
the Rocca Corvo and the Pizzo tre Frati is exciting. Here lies a natural spring, called Mirto. On the
opposite side of Mount Cesarò (429/m) stands the
Real Cantina Borbonica, built by order of Ferdinand
III, King of Sicily. A little further on is Palazzo Ram
one of the oldest fortified buildings in the village. The
attractive Lake Poma on the Jato River is an ideal
picnic spot.
