The Most Sacred Panorama In The Center Of Sicily

Demeter’s view.

Back in ancient times on this spot at the top of the mountain on which perches the city of Enna was a temple dedicated to the mother goddess Demeter. As a most significant deity to ancient Greeks and Romans (The Romans called her Ceres.), this protector of fertility, the harvest, and grains was depicted here in the form of a massive statue overlooking the bountiful and prolific countryside below. A fitting view in the center of Sicily for Mother Earth!

When I stood here last September, I was taken by the stunning 360 degree panorama. It certainly felt sacred.
