Sambuca di Sicilia

Located at 364 meters above sea level, Sambuca di Sicilia stretches across 96 square kilometers of land characterized by hills and rural landscapes.

The settlement, initially called Zabut, emerged during Arab rule around 830 AD and maintained its Muslim population until Frederick II's conquest in the 13th century.

The town center contains numerous examples of Sicilian Baroque architecture, including the Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo with its wooden statue of Saint George.

Visitors can reach Sambuca di Sicilia by traveling 68 kilometers southwest from Palermo or 89 kilometers northwest from the city of Agrigento.

In 2019, the municipality launched a housing initiative offering historic properties for sale starting at one euro to attract new residents and investment.
