Gangi is the last town of Palermo province from which it is distant 120 Km; it rises on the Mount Marone to an altitude of 1011 meters on the sea level. To the visitor's eyes it is introduced in all its exceptionality of "Stone Cone" of houses leaned to houses, compact and chromatically similar, separated by two great valleys, on which the rivers Gangi and Rainò slide and with an evocative scene in the background, the majestic Etna.
The town delineates an increasing organization from mount to valley: the higher part, inside the three hundred town-walls, encloses the historical centre and it is characterized by narrow lanes tightened in ancient cobblestone paving, the lower part, that is expanding, is characterized by residential constructions.
