Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, Administrative division in Sicily, Italy

Located on the northern coast of Sicily, Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto extends across 58 square kilometers at an elevation of 60 meters above sea level.

The municipality formed in 1934 through the merger of two distinct communities, Barcellona Sicula and Pozzo di Gotto, which trace their origins to the 16th century.

The procession of Varette on Good Friday presents twenty-six decorated floats through the streets, depicting scenes from religious traditions.

The town connects to major Sicilian cities through regular train services and the A20 motorway, which runs between Messina and Palermo.

The name partially derives from a well dug by Nicholas Goto, documented in Latin texts from 1463, marking the beginning of local agricultural development.
