Museo Archeologico Regionale Centuripe
Housed in a modern building since 2000, the museum contains the largest collection of Roman archaeological finds in inland Sicily, including remarkable sculptures (notably the famed Head of Augustus on loan until 2026), Hellenistic terracotta masks, local Centuripe-ware vases, and ethnographic displays of rural life.
Roman Mausoleum «La Dogana»
An imposing Roman tower-mausoleum from the imperial era, locally known as “La Dogana”. Only the upper level remains standing today. It is located in the park below town near the municipal gardens of Corradino.
Mother Church of the Immaculate Conception
Centuripe’s cathedral, built in the early 17th century and consecrated in 1728. Features a triple‑order façade with bell‑tower and clock, a Latin‑cross interior, and a carved wooden pulpit. The tiled Piazza Duomo was redesigned in 2021-22.
Church of the Holy Souls in Purgatory
A compact Baroque church associated with the Brotherhood of the Souls in Purgatory. Though small, its interior once housed devotional art and it features a crypt beneath—partially accessible during local events.
Urban & nature loop Centuripe 1
Easy ~1.6-km loop (~1 mile) combining town and countryside—passes the Archaeological Museum, former mill, ex‑Augustales site, Roman baths, and a quiet stretch of local landscape. Ideal for a light morning or afternoon stroll.
