Comitini

Comitini is a small municipality in the province of Agrigento in western Sicily. The village sits at about 350 meters in elevation and covers nearly 22 square kilometers with hilly terrain.

The site dates back to Roman times when it served as a statio comitina, a stopping point where travelers could change horses. This strategic location defined its early importance in the region.

The Mother Church of Saint James the Greater has shaped the town's character since the 1600s and remains central to local life. The church square serves as a gathering place where residents meet and celebrate together.

The town hall on Piazza Bellacera handles all municipal matters and resident services. The compact size makes it easy to explore on foot and navigate the main areas.

The landscape features dramatic elevation changes, ranging from 153 to 604 meters across the territory. This topographical diversity shapes how the settlement is organized and appears from different vantage points.
