Leonforte

Introduction

This central Sicilian town is characterized by its baroque style. Leonforte was born in 1610. It is situated on the SS121. This picturesque town boasts a beautiful monument to the baroque style, the Palazzo Baronale, whose intricately ornate façade catches any passer-by and visitor’s full attention. Check out the cathedral of Leonforte and its wooden sculptures.
What must never be missed in this little central town is its Granfonte, which was created by Nicolò Branciforte. It is situated off the cathedral down a lane which is signposted. The fountain is a composition of 24 jets of water which spurts against a sculpted façade. A beautiful piece of art.
