Islamic heritage in Sicily

“Siqilyya ğannat ˀal arḍ- Sicily is Garden Paradise on Earth” is an itinerary to enhance the cultural, material and intangible heritage of the N-W coast of Sicily, deeply influenced by Islamic culture. Around the ‘600 there were the first islamic arrivals in Cossyra – now Pantelleria; the arrivals culminated in 827 with the landing in Capo Granitola and the Islamic occupation of the Region, which generated the blossoming of a cultural stratification and peaceful cohexistence of cultures.
