In Isnello, in the heart of the Madonie, the GAL Hassin International Centre for Astronomical Sciences combines scientific research with public outreach. It is a place to discover the sky while spending time in Sicily's mountain landscape.
Discovering astronomy
The centre includes a planetarium, a museum, the Space and Time Park and an observation terrace. Guided activities introduce visitors to astronomy through exhibits, instruments and explanations.
The programme changes with the season and the activities scheduled by the centre. Outdoor observations also depend on the weather, so a visit should be planned around the current calendar.
Planning your visit
Check the GAL Hassin information for visitors and its booking calendar for dates, activities and tickets.
Regular activities are held in Italian. Visitors who need English should contact the centre before booking to discuss the arrangements available.
