Terrasini, Coastal commune in Metropolitan City of Palermo, Italy.
Located between mountains and the Gulf of Castellammare, Terrasini extends along curved coastlines with numerous bays at 32 meters above sea level.
The settlement originated from a medieval village called Favarotta, deriving from Arabic 'Fawar' meaning spring, until King Ferdinand II merged it with Terrasini in 1836.
The Civic Museum in Palazzo Aumale contains three distinct sections dedicated to ethnography, archaeology, and natural history of the region.
The town sits 30 kilometers west of Palermo near the international airport, connecting travelers through the main motorway between Palermo and Trapani.
Local craftsmen maintain traditional production of quartare clay amphorae, representing centuries of Mediterranean pottery techniques in this coastal region.
