This area covers a large part of the territory (43 Communes) of the Palermitan hinterland. Most of the land is given over to agriculture but there are also a great many natural reserves including Bosco di Ficuzza (Godrano), Monte Genuardo, S.M. del Bosco Grotta di Entella (Contessa Entellina and Giuliana), Monti di Palazzo Adriano e Valle del Sosio (Palazzo Adriano; Chiusa Sclafani)  and  the Gurfa in Alia.

Other buildings of historic, architectonic and ethno-anthropological interest include fortified country houses, hamlets, chapels, paper mills, windmills, bridges and drinking troughs, all of which, alongside the archaeological and prehistoric sites, are a fully integral part of the territory and highly representative of the area’s history

An essential characteristic of this area is its rural identity, not only thanks to the presence of specific crops (vines and olive trees..) but also, and more often, of vast areas of cereal and grain cultivations (ex large landed estates). There is also a considerable area given over to sheep farming, and, consequentially, to the production of cheeses, (Pecorino Siciliano d.o.p., Canestrato, Palermitano, Provola Siciliana… and one possible itinerary could the “Monte Sicani Cheese Route”). Some farmers also grow a mix of crops such as vegetables, fruit, and vines.
