Hello everyone,
this time we are glad to show you San Cipirello and San Giuseppe Jato, two villages in the province of Palermo.
The first inhabited center in the area lies on top of the adjacent Mount Jato, dating back to prehistoric times, with influence of Greek culture from the 6th century BC. Known under the name of Iaitas in Greek sources and Ietas in Latin, this ancient village lived its most flourishing period in its history from the age of Islamic domination of Sicily to the Hohenstaufen one (c. 975-1246), when it was an important stronghold. It is believed that the last remnants of the original Muslim stronghold were demolished in 1246 by the troops of Frederick II of Sicily.
The modern village was founded in 1779 at the foot of Mount Jato.
In 1838, San Giuseppe Jato was destroyed by a terrible flood. Many people moved few yards away and build a new village named San Cipirello. Nowadays, San Giuseppe Jato and San Cipirello are joined by the same main road that connect them.
