SS 120 Randazzo-Nicosía.
Location
Troina, one of the highest towns in Sicily, is situated west of Mount Etna on a ridge in the Nebrodic Mountains.
History
In ancient times there was a Siculan town, perhaps Engyon, a little to the south. In 876 the Saracens took Troina; in 1062 it was taken back by the Norman Roger I. He first chose Troina as his residence and later it became a setting-out point for many Norman conquering expeditions. In 1088 Roger I and Pope Urban II met here; at their second meeting ten years later in Salerno Count Roger was recognized as an apostolic legate.
