There are few places in Europe as beautiful as Militello Val di Catania.
This little Sicilian town was recently named “Borgo dei Borghi,” or “Village of Villages,” by Rai Italia, Italy’s public radio and television broadcaster, whose national TV program honors the country’s most beautiful small towns. Each year, the show travels across Italy in search of places rich in history, tradition, and culinary culture; in 2025, Militello stole the show.
Located in southeastern Sicily, Militello unfolds as a cascade of honey-colored palazzi and churches with soft curves. It’s a place where bell towers punctuate the day, and wrought-iron balconies spill over with flowers.
