The Territory

The town is reached from the main 121 road from Agira. Regalbuto boasts historical origins probably thanks to the ancient Ameselo narrated by Diodoro Siculo. During a war with Centuripe it was razed to the ground and then rebuilt. In 1860 it was the venue of negotiations between Garibaldi and several deputies of the kingdom. Today Regalbuto is a quiet town which lives on artisan work and agriculture on the banks of Lake Pozzillo. Like all Sicilian towns which have been strongly influenced by Spanish culture, Regalbuto also has a artistic heritage made up mainly of the numerous churches spread across the town. Most importantly is the main church, situated on the Piazza Repubblica, a uniquely impressive spot. Of particular interest are the churches of the Capuccini, Santa Maria delle Grazie, Santa Maria della Croce, the convent of San Agostino and the ex-Jesuit house.
