Enna - San Giuseppe

Enna (known until 1926 as Castrogiovanni) is located roughly at the center of Sicily, towering above the surrounding countryside.

During the Punic Wars, Enna was occupied first by the Carthaginians and then by the Romans. After the Romans, the Byzantines ruled. After a first unsuccessful attack in the summer of 827, the Arabs conquered the city in 859 after several years of siege. In 1088 it was conquered by the Normans.

The church and adjacent monastery were initially built in 1390 but underwent reconstruction during the 17th century. The facade now has a Baroque portal.

I have already uploaded a lot of photos previously taken in Sicily. Now I will add only a few. If you want to see more, follow this link:
