Gibellina, Art town in Sicily, Italy.
The modern settlement of Gibellina sits at 233 meters elevation in the Province of Trapani, featuring contemporary architecture and art installations throughout its streets.
Following the destructive Belice earthquake of 1968, the entire population moved to a new location 11 kilometers away from the original town site.
The concrete memorial Cretto di Burri covers the ruins of old Gibellina, preserving the street layout while transforming the site into an outdoor art exhibit.
Visitors can reach Gibellina by road networks connecting to major Sicilian cities, with regular bus services operating between regional transportation hubs.
The town received recognition as Italy's capital of contemporary art in 2024, reflecting its transformation into an open-air museum of modern artistic expression.
