Sciacca
This coastal Sicilian town on the south-western shore of the island, Sciacca is known for its historic carnival, its ceramics tradition, and a walkable centre thick with churches and historic buildings. Founded by the Sicani in the 7th century BC, it retains substantial stretches of 16th-century ramparts and three largely intact city gates. The waterfront setting and concentration of scenic viewpoints add to a strong visual profile, and the centre supports a dense food-and-drink scene.
