 Enna, Italy
In Greek it was known as Enna, in Latin Henna; from Castrum Hennae it became Kasr Jânna in Arab times, which in turn later became translated into Italian as Castrogiovanni.
In the first Punic War (264-241 B.C.) Enna was fought over, despite its reputation of impregnability, and in 258, as a result of an act of betrayal, it fell to the Romans, who in 214 inflicted harsh punishment on the town, when it showed signs of trying to cross over to the Carthaginian side.
The town was the seat of the Syrian Eunus, the slave of one Antigenes, whom the rebel slaves declared their leader and who proudly called himself "Antiochos, King of the Syrians" and for a time controlled the whole of Sicily.

Enna's main attraction is the Lombard Castle, built by Frederick II in the early part of the 13th century.

 Ragusa - Best of Sicily - Ragusa
The city of Ragusa, capital of the province of the same name, is located about an hour's drive from Syracuse, the nearest large city.
However, this factor also has an advantage since the area is one of the more tranquil and thus more "authentically" Sicilian of the island's nine provinces, and while the province of Enna can make the same claim, landlocked Enna doesn't have any beaches while Ragusa has.
Consequently, the lack of tourists here makes the beaches of the province of Ragusa some of the cleanest and affordable and least crowded to be found in Sicily.
