A twig of the elder tree is depicted in the borgo\u2019s coat of arms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do not miss” tab_id=”1480496820077-2b27c1ff-e93b”][vc_column_text]Savoca welcomes the visitor with streets paved in basalt blocks of lavic rock, the restored houses with their roofs in Sicilian tiles, stone portals and windows, the elegant fa\u00e7ades that offer the colours of the ancient Savoca. If you look at the urban configuration, you can see that the houses are rarely adjacent and more often separated by cliffs, broken up by the rocks, where the elder trees grow spontaneously. Ruins, narrow streets and cisterns dug into the rock give the place its special charm, it is dominated by the Pentefur Castle, that was probably built by the Arabs and later enlarged by the Normans, but which also echoes its mysterious Aboriginal founders. During the Middle Ages Savoca was a walled city enclosed by two gates, one of which still exists. Going through the fourteenth century City Gate, formed by a pointed arch made from local stone, you will enter the old centre where the old Town Hall and Palazzo Archimandritale, of which only a few traces remain. Nearby was the Jewish synagogue, which was documented up until 1470. The Church of San Michele, dear to the Archimandrites, was built prior to 1250, and was also a place of worship for the castle. The fa\u00e7ade includes two beautiful portals in Gothic-Siculan style with sandstone arches. Inside there is one nave, which was partly been rebuilt in Baroque style, which contains various works of art, aristocratic tombs and frescoes. According to a documented tradition, non believers, who converted to Christianity, had to climb on their knees, the seven steps of the church, as an act of penitence before being baptized. The Church of San Nicol\u00f2, which is improperly called the Church of Saint Lucia, due to the statue of the patron saint of Savoca that is kept there (the statue of San Nicol\u00f2 was sold), dates back to the beginning of the thirteenth century and also belonged to the Archimandrites. Built on a massive rocky spike, it seems to stretch out into the air. The church that today appears with a nave and two aisles and has the vague appearance of a fortress overlooking the valley below, was once served by Greek chaplains. One of the famous sets of the Godfather movie was the Vitelli Bar, housed in Palazzo Trimarchi, an eighteenth century palace. The most important monument of Savoca is the XII century Mother Church, which had jurisdiction over all other urban and rural churches of the region. It has one nave and two aisles with capitals in Romanesque style. The original construction dates back to the Norman period. In its basement corpses were mummified and today the rooms in which this empirical procedure was practiced still exist. This was the seat of the Archimandrites and the wooden throne, that is still preserved, was carved with the Archimandrite\u2019s coat of arms. Recently some late medieval wall paintings have emerged that are identifiable with Byzantine iconography. There is a painting depicting St. John Chrysostom, the founder of the Christian Church in the East. Near the Mother Church is a late medieval building with a sixteenth century mullioned window. It is worth visiting the catacombs, where up until 1876 corpses were mummified using ancient Egyptian methods. The mortal remains of local notables, the patrician and the abbots, wearing clothes from the beginning of the nineteenth century, are visible in the niches of the crypt of the Capuchin Monastery, which was founded in 1574. Finally, it is worth visiting Mount Calvary, an ancient hermitage that in 1736 the Jesuits turned in to a church, here you can find the route of the Via Crucis, whose stations are partially dug into the rock.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Local products and dishes” tab_id=”1480496816178-4ed93fff-7757″][vc_column_text]Only in Savoca you can taste the famous Sicilian lemon granita<\/em>, a crushed ice drink, served with the zuccarata<\/em>, a local biscuit.
