The beauty of a courtyard

Where: the garden @ Castello di Nelson - Bronte (CT)
History: this is a former Benedictine abbey, built in the same place of the battles between the Saraceni and the troops of the general Maniace; inside there are a splendid garden and a small norman church dedicated to the Madonna di Maniace. Recently restructured, the castle works as a museum, while the old granai (where the wheat was stocked) became object of studies and a place to conferences.
