What to see, according to Wikivoyage
Palazzo Pignatelli (Old tower of Palazzo Pignatelli), Menfi centre. Exterior view; interior depends on availability. It was built by the Pignatelli family in the 17th century, incorporating a surviving 13th-century Frederick II tower. This historic building is a key landmark in Menfi’s old town centre. Although much was rebuilt after the 1968 earthquake, the tower stands as a reminder of medieval origins and regional heritage. Free (may vary).
