La cittadina di Centuripe (EN) è pittorescamente arroccata su un sistema montuoso (730 .) che si erge maestoso a metà strada tra Catania ed Enna. Dalla sommità, il panorama è dominato dall’imponente mole dell’Etna e lo sguardo spazia sulle vallate fluviali circostanti (valli del Salso, del Dittaino e del Simeto) e sulla Piana di Catania, fino alle catene montuose degli Erei e dei Nebrodi per il raggio di una cinquantina di chilometri. La popolazione è di abitanti. L’economia è a carattere prevalentemente agricolo e artigianale, ma cominciano a farsi strada anche settori legati al terziario.
Centuripe, oltre alle bellezze paesaggistiche, che ne fanno una sorta di Taormina dell’entroterra, offre anche notevoli resti archeologici. Fu fondata dai siculi verso l’VIII secolo a.C. e da allora fu abitata senza soluzione di continuità fino al XIII secolo d.C., quando venne distrutta da Federico II di Svevia e rifondata tre secoli dopo. L’impianto urbano, pertanto, con le sue pittoresche viuzze pensate per una viabilità a trazione animale, è ancora quello cinquecentesco.
The town of Centuripe (EN) is picturesquely perched on a mountain system (730 .) which rises majestically halfway between Catania and Enna. From the top, the panorama is dominated by the imposing mass of Etna and the gaze sweeps over the surrounding river valleys (valleys of Salso, Dittaino and Simeto) and the Plain of Catania, up to the mountain ranges of the Erei and Nebrodi for the radius of about fifty kilometers. The population is 5,800 inhabitants. The economy is mainly agricultural and artisanal, but sectors linked to the tertiary sector are also beginning to make their way.
Centuripe, in addition to the landscape beauties, which make it a sort of Taormina of the hinterland, also offers remarkable archaeological remains. It was founded by the Sicilians around the eighth century BC. and from then on it was inhabited without interruption until the 13th century AD, when it was destroyed by Frederick II of Swabia and re-founded three centuries later. The urban layout, therefore, with its picturesque alleys designed for animal traction roads, is still the sixteenth-century one.
