Take a tour of Sicilian Town of Randazzo in Randazzo, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

In the hills of the beautiful Italian island of Sicily is the small medieval town of Randazzo.

The town has a varied history, having been the home of the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, and the Normans.

The Black plague of the 16th century left this once thriving city all but deserted, fortunately its was repopulated and restored in later years.

This wealth of history gives the town such buildings as an ancient Castle, which now houses a museum.

There is also the Church of Santa Maria, which is built largely out of black lava stone.

Though the town suffered heavy property damage during World War Two, the city was promptly rebuilt to once again showcase its medieval origins.
