Villa Comunale Harbor View

Begin at the Villa Comunale Ignazio Scaturro, a historic garden located in Piazza Saverio Friscia and open since 1880. Walk along geometric avenues and shaded paths, observing pines, ficus trees and palms that characterise the park. Then reach the Belvedere, a panoramic terrace expanded in the 1930s, from which you will have views of Sciacca's port on one side and the Thermal Park on the other. During the stop the guide will explain the history of the garden and the monuments present, including those dedicated to Saverio Friscia. You will be able to pause by the pond and the park benches. The visit will allow you to become familiar with one of the most important green spaces in the centre and to gain an initial overview of Sciacca's position in relation to the sea and the surrounding territory. The path inside the villa is flat and suited to a calm pace.

Cortile Carini

Visit Cortile Carini, an open-air passageway located in the historic centre of Sciacca and transformed into an artistic installation by the artist Giulio Lo Rubbio, know as Lulo. Walk along the alley observing the mosaics made from recylced materials, broken ceramics, coloured glass and stones collected from nearby beaches. Every wall and step forms part of a continuous intervention that combines elements of traditional Sicilian ceramics with salvaged materials. The guide will explain how the project began and which techniques were used. The courtyard is set slightly apart from the main streets and offers a moment of pause in a contained space. The visit will allow you to discover a contemporary example of urban regeneration through art and to observe at close range a handcrafted work created entirely by hand. The route is short and fits naturally into the walk through the historic centre.

Corso Vittorio Emanuele

Explore the Sailors' Quarter, a historic district of Sciacca that descends from Corso Vittorio Emanuele toward the seafront. Walk among narrow alleys of Arab origin, staircases and courtyards that characterise the quarter inhabited for centuries by fishing families. Admire the restored façades, the stone paving and the zigzag staircases that connect the different levels of hillside. The guide will illustrate the history of the quarter and its link with the fishing activity still present in the port below. From certain points you will have direct views of the sea and the coloured houses facing the harbour. The route includes some changes in level but remains accessible at a slow pace. The visit will allow you to understand the urban organisation of the oldest part of Sciacca and the direct relationship between the inhabited centre and the sea.

MUSEO DIOCESANO "MUDIA"

Step inside the MUDIA, the Diocesan Museum of Sciacca, located next to the Mother Church. Inside you will find a collection of paintings, sculptures, coral works, liturgical objects and artworks by the painter Mariano Rossi. The collection documents the town's bond with the Madonna del Soccorso and the religious artistic production developed over the centuries. The guide will illustrate the main pieces and the historical context of the works. The arrangement is compact and allows a clear and orderly route. The visit to the museum will offer a deeper look into the artistic and devotional heritage of Sciacca, integrating what has already been observed in the Mother Church. The time spent inside is calibrated so as not to weigh on the overall pace of the tour.

Le Antiche Macine

Live the story of Sicilian extra virgin olive oil in the countryside of Sciacca with a traditional estate. Just a short distance from the sea, Le Antiche Macine opens its doors: a charming rural house overlooking an ancient Saracen olive grove. You will be welcomed by the owners themselves, a passionate couple who produce their own extra virgin olive oil and turn every encounter into a genuine conversation filled with family stories, traditional gestures, and a deep connection to the land. You will walk among centuries-old olive trees and the seasonal vegetable garden while listening to the story of their farm and four indigenous Sicilian varieties like Tonda Iblea, Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla and Cerasuola, which give life to three distinct oils, rich in polyphenols and full of character. You will learn to recognize the differences in aroma, bitterness, and pungency through a technical tasting guided by the producers, ending with a light lunch prepared with local ingredients.
