Lake Arancio is an artificial basin built between 1949 and 1952 in an area between the territories of the municipalities of Sambuca, Santa Margherita and Sciacca. It can contain up to 32 million cubic meters of water and has a width of 400 hectares. It was created thanks to the blocking of the waters of the Carboj river through a dam. When the water level drops it is possible to see the ruins of the ancient fort of Mazzallakkar, built by the Arabs in 830.
