Nestled within the picturesque Conca d’Oro in Monreale is the hidden gem, “Sorgente Fontana Lupo” (Lupo Fountain Spring). This tranquil spot offers a stunning, untouched natural landscape, complete with a rare aquatic plant, Carex panormitana. A short walk from here leads to the source of the Oreto River, where the urban surroundings are left behind, emphasizing the potential for the river’s future and, in turn, the city’s. The site features cascading waterfalls, an imposing gorge, and abundant riverside vegetation, making it a serene and unexpected escape in close proximity to the city.
