Beautiful example of rational architecture. From the central square, hexagonal in shape, where the Mother Church (dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo) is located, the city expands symmetrically, forming a large hexagon made up of concentric arteries.

Large hexagonal square crossed by six streets that detach in the center of the sides of the hexagon. The Mother Church and, adjacent, the Town Hall stand out. The town of Grammichele extends following the particular shape of the square.
