Piana degli Albanesi
Piana degli Albanesi was founded in the fifteenth century by people from Albania who wanted to escape  Turkish rule.  They settled in this hill town less then an hours ride south of Palermo.

Today the churches of the town maintain the Orthodox rites of the Roman Catholic religion.
