EnnaTroina.
Here there was an ancient Sicel city, identified by some as Engyum or Herbita and by others as the polis Tyrakinai of Stephen the Byzantine, which prospered until the early Middle Ages. Here Count Roger founded two Basilian monasteries and the Cathedral church attached to the first Norman bishopric in Sicily (1082-1096). Troina always remained part ofthe royal domain.

The town still preserves a Norman tower, which was modified, or completed, in the 16th c. It now acts as the campanile of the Chiesa Madre, which was profoundly transformed in the 15th and 19th c., and today has a neoclassical façade and very little of Roger's originai beautiful construction; it contains some late Byzantine panels, including a 15th c. Madonna and Child and a St Michael in a gold field (1512). Along Via Vittorio Emanuele we can see the 16th c. Chiesa della Santissima Annunciata, with its majolica-tiled spire, and the Chiesa di San Silvestro: St Sylvester was a Basilian monk and patron of the city, and the church contains his statuary tomb, attributed to Domenico Gagini.
