In the western side of Sicily, at the slopes of Mount Kronio, not far from Sciacca, there is the “Enchanted Castle”, that is a wonderful place invented by the creativity of man and nature where, besides olives and almond trees, you can find heads engraved in stone by Filippo Bentivegna, called “Philip of the heads”, a real artist endowed by an excellent creativity, one of the greatest exponents of “art brut” or “outside art”.

4.0 based on 36 reviews
The House-Museum ”Francesco Scaglione” is a unique istance of an eighteenth century “re-enactment museum”. It is a good example of the illuminated collecting which was flowering all over Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thanks to the contribution of rich individuals.. The building is next to the cathedral in the old town centre, the same place where the church of Santo Stefano used to stand before it was demolished in the sixteenth century. On the first floor, the largest of the communal rooms looks out on a small garden, while the private rooms offer a good view of the square.
10. Antiche Grotte del Caricatore

Discovering Caricatore There is a subterranean Sciacca, dug in the rock probably by the learned hands of Carthaginian navigators: the Caricatore, a funnel-shaped system of caves used to accumulate wheat up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. This fascinating worm-eaten fabric covered a perimeter that widened from Angelo Scandaliato square to the Convento San Francesco, up to the Samaritan alley, where the Torre del Fossato stood, a bulwark placed in defence of the "Sicilian gold" from Saracen piracy attacks. Today, this extraordinary place brought life again thanks to the passion and the enthusiasm of the cultural association "Vintuliata di Marina" which has made some caves of the ancient Caricatore accessible through guided tours and has created an area dedicated to exhibitions, seminars, theatrical performances and artistic events. The purpose of the association is also to outline paths of knowledge and enhancement of our enogastronomic heritage.
