Discover the captivating connection between Italy's ancient Sicilian symbol, A Trinacria, and the Isle of Man's iconic landmarks. The Triskele, a symbol of the three legs of a stylized trident, holds deep historical roots in both cultures. In Sicily, it represents the goddesses Demeter, Persephone, and Selene. On the Isle of Man, it's seen on the Laxey Wheel, a Victorian water wheel, and the Isle of Man Triskelion on buildings, including Castle Rushen in Castletown. Tynwald, the Isle of Man's legislative branch, also bears this symbol. The Isle of Man's connection to the Triskele dates back to 1838, when the Laxey Wheel was built, and continues to be a testament to the island's rich history. #IsleofMan #Trinacria #Triskele #Sicily #LaxeyWheel #CastleRushen #Tynwald #EyeUbiquitous_20105741
