On this tour, you will visit Sciacca, a coastal town with a thousand-year history linked to the sea and its thermal springs, which were already known in Roman times. You will walk through the streets of the medieval-layout historic center, where you will explore artisan workshops to closely observe the production of artistic ceramics and coral, two of the region's cultural and economic excellences. 

You will reach the oldest neighborhoods, such as the Rupe district and the remains of Luna Castle, analyzing the Norman and Aragonese influences on local architecture.
