architectural structure of Borgo Ginuga in the Centuripe city history, it is a
circle depicting a particular flower. The origins of Centuripe are very remote
and sink their roots in prehistoric times. The city of Centuripe, in addition
to the beautiful landscapes, also offers remarkable archaeological remains. It was
founded by the Sicilians towards the 8th century BC and since then it was
inhabited seamlessly up to the 13th century BC, when it was destroyed by
Frederick II of Swabia and rebuilt three centuries later. The urban layout,
therefore, with its picturesque lanes designed for an animal traction route, it
is still the sixteenth century. The period of greater flourishing of the
ancient city was reached under the Roman domino between the 3rd and the 1st
century BC. In the imperial age, between the 1st and 3rd century AD there are
numerous public monuments, still preserved, which together with those of
Taormina, Catania and Syracuse are the most significant traces of Roman
architecture in Sicily. For example, during the course of the Simeto River, you
can admire the remains of an imposing bridge. The remains of other monuments of
the imperial age (I-III century BC) are preserved inside or on the outskirts of
the town: the mausoleums of the Castle of Corradino and Dogana, the Acqua Amara
and Vagni thermal buildings, the large masonry tank, terracing muraglions, the
Panneria structure, the architectural complex with a mosaic room and and
numerous statues of the imperial family now displayed in the nearby
Archaeological Museum. Visit to the city and its archaeological heritage is an
indispensable stage for those who want to see archaeologically relevant sites. The
names given to each room of Borgo Ginuga originate from a deep passion of the
owner for the fruit trees of Orange, Melograno, Magnolia and Glicine and report
to their meaning. Our
