PARTANNA
Partanna stands at 414m asl, between
the Modione and Belice valleys, in the province of Trapani. It has
a population of about 12,000.
Probably founded by Greek colonists,
it developed around a castle and a tower, the latter then transformed
into the bell-tower of the city’s mother church. It was long
ruled by the Graffeo family and, later, by Giovanni Vincenzo Tagliavia
and the Pignatelli family.
The Castello, built in the Norman
age, undergoing several changes throughout the centuries, is one
of the city’s most attractive buildings.
The 1600’s Chiesa Madre is
dedicated to Santa Maria della Catena. It was largely rebuilt after
the 1968’s earthquake. Inside, it is richly decorated with
stuccoes, baroque paintings and a 1600’s wooden carved choirstall.
The 1700’s Chiesa di San Francesco is also worth-seeing.
