In the western side of Sicily, at the slopes of Mount Kronio, not far from Sciacca, there is the “Enchanted Castle”, that is a wonderful place invented by the creativity of man and nature where, besides olives and almond trees, you can find heads engraved in stone by Filippo Bentivegna, called “Philip of the heads”, a real artist endowed by an excellent creativity, one of the greatest exponents of “art brut” or “outside art”.

There is a place where, for thousands of years, the Earth has been sharing with human beings his deepest breath. It’s the abode of Kronos, father of Zeus, God of Time, of Fertility and Agriculture. Here myths are at home. These are probably the oldest thermal baths on Earth. They were built by the famous architect Dedalus who arrived here escaping from the labyrinth of Creta and after the loss of his son Icarus. Here is where a Saint, Saint Calogero, in the 16th century, used to make people sit to heal breathing diseases. The fact that this place used to heal both body and mind was assured by the name of the Saint: Calogero, which in Ancient Greek, means “nice elderly man”. Here people age really well. This site, located on Mount Kronio, is a unique place in the world, where you can live one of the experiences of Sciacca, the city of the 5 Senses.
