Favara

Favara was inhabited along the centuries by the Romans, the Arabs, and Normans, who left several tracks of their passage. We will see its old centre, the Castle Chiaramonte (the ancient hunting reserve of Frederick II), the Cathedral and its historical palaces.

We will visit the town also on the occasion of the Festival of the Paschal Lamb. This event will offer us the possibility to admire the local producers’ mastery in creating the hand-made lambs of almond paste and pistachio.

At Favara they once made a Paschal Lamb worthy of the Guinness World Records weighing no less than 202 kg.
