Il Giardino dei Sospiri
The
garden is located in the
north-eastern part of the historical centre ibleo. Towards east runs the antique
river Irminio which was called in this way by Dafni, the inventor of the bucolic
poetry in honour of his father Hermes. In the surrounding mountains the caves of
where the natives of Sicily once lived can be admired.
The
garden is situated only 50 meters from the castle Chiaramonte. Chiaramonte is
the name of an Earl family who lived at the castle in the years 1296 - 1392.
After the tragic earthquake in 1693 where the castle was ruined, the castle was
rebuilt into the church Francesco all’Immacolata. The admirable bell tower was constructed at the foundation of the ancient castle.
The
traveller or the tourist who stays in this resort can experience the odours from
the antique and from the fertile valley.
