Between history and the contemporary discovering the Farm Cultural Park

To discover Favara is to take a journey through the contradictions of the Sicilian territory. The city shows visitors large unfinished buildings next to ancient churches and palaces.The city center is located in Piazza Cavour, dominated by the Norman Castle and sumptuous palaces. Noteworthy are Favara’s Mother Church, “a Matrici,” which houses a large and valuable 17th-century crucifix inside, and the Church of the Rosary, where it is possible to admire the fine 16th-century style coffered ceiling. Tucked inside the “Seventh Courtyards” is the Farm Cultural Park, an interesting example of the rehabilitation of the blighted center. Farm is now the main example of outdoor contemporary art on the entire island. Here it is not unusual to find avant-garde artists exhibiting and producing their works.
