Saint Roch, patron of a legendary castle linked to Falconara by secret tunnels

📅 Every year, on 16 August

Butera celebrates Saint Roch on 16 August: his statue is kept in the town's sanctuary, while the Arab-Norman castle overlooking the town, once held by the Alagona family and later by the Catalan prince Ugo di Santapau, is said by popular tradition to be linked to Falconara castle by underground tunnels.
