Things to see in Caltabellotta

Caltabellotta is a striking hilltop town in the province of Agrigento, Sicily, known for its dramatic landscape, rich history, and deep spiritual roots. Perched over 900 meters above sea level, it offers sweeping views of the surrounding valleys, olive groves, and the distant Mediterranean..

The whole of the top is fascinating; there's no waste of space and the tunnel under the crest has hugely different weather and outlook on each side. There is an interesting church at the east end.
