I am glad to present you this new tourists' guide of
the city of Sambuca di Sicilia. A publication made,
thanks to the contribution of the region providence
of Agrigento, that has the intent to propose on the
market, home and foreign, a product turned to show
up the historical, artistic and naturalistic beauties of ;)
our territory.
This booklet is to create a substantial contribution
to the knowledge of the historical and archaelogical
patrimony that this little town has: from Mount
Adranone to Lake Arancio, in fact, we can see one
of the most interesting territories that our
providence has. It is a place of amusement and, at
the same time, of creativity and culture. Famous
representatives of culture and art have made this
place famous.
The beauty of the landscape, the illustrious history,
the remains of the beautiful ancient civilizations,
justify the international fame of the city and the
homesickness that takes the visitor at the end of
his journey.
Francesco Zinna
Assessore al Turismo della Citta` di Sambuca
An entire area of the town "Vicoli Saraceni",
that has just recently been restored, and the fortress
of Mazzallakkar on Lake Arancio demonstrate these
origins. Sambuca (Sambuca Zabut until 1923) has
developed both culturally and urbanistically. The
churches of Carmine, of St. Catherine, of St. Joseph
and of tge Conception; the Palaces Baccadelli,
Credito Cooperativo, Ciaccio, Arpa (the Town Hall)
and Panitteri (XV century); the local Theatre "L'ideA"
(1850); the Belvedere terrace together with the
monumental church of Matrice; the Towers of Cellaro
and Pandofina, the convents are demonstration of this
development.
