From 9th to 11th May, feast of the Patron Saints Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino. Among the crucial moments of the festival we remember the exit of the Nuri (naked): At 1:00 on May 10th the Nuri riding the Giro Santo. They are bare-chested, barefoot men, wearing only a pair of short white trousers and a red ribbon, holding one hand behind their back and a candle or a bouquet of flowers in the other. They run through the streets of Lentini remembering the tour that the Holy Martyrs made, amidst atrocious suffering, around the ancient city walls. The women also arrive behind them, barefoot.

The city preserves historic buildings, many of which date back to the post-earthquake period in the Val di Noto of 1693, such as noble and bourgeois palaces. Among the sites of interest stand out the Serravalle Castle, the rock castle of the Sant'Agrippina Cave and the ancient Porta Adinolfo.
