In this finale on Sunday, the Most Beautiful Village in Italy that we present to you is Novara di Sicilia, in the province of Messina.
The village rises on the slope of the mountain from which the ancient can be seen Tindari, in an enchanting natural setting downstream of an imposing rock spur, the Rocca Salvatesta, which reaches 134o meters.
The small crowded houses, the plot of alleys and alleys sometimes surmounted by arches, the decorations of the facades, the elegance of the buildings, the sumptuousness of the churches give charm to a medieval urban layout. The streets, mostly paved with cobblestones narrow between two longitudinal rows of local sandstone, help to enhance the architecture of the historic center.
The image of the "stone country”Comes from the stone paved streets, from the portals of the Cathedral and other churches, from the cornices of the balconies, from the shelves and the underlying supports of the ancient buildings, all works created between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
