It is an ancient circular stone well, about ten meters deep, located a few hundred meters downstream from the Sanctuary that dominates the historic center of the town. According to legend, after the miraculous landing of the painting of the Madonna di Custonaci in the Buguto bay, following the shipwreck of a French ship, during the transport of the effigy of the Virgin from the bay to the small church on the hill of the town, at a certain point, the oxen that were pulling the cart, thirsty and exhausted from the effort, stopped and did not want to start again. Immediately - the legend says - a spring of water began to miraculously flow from the ground that watered the animals.

It is absolutely recommended to stop to admire a breathtaking view

The SS187 is a winding state road that winds from Castellammare del Golfo towards Belvedere and then on to San Vito lo Capo. The climb offers fantastic views of the bay and the expansive sea – especially in the early morning hours or just before sunset. Tip: The route is very popular with road cyclists – it's a steady climb with good asphalt and little traffic during the off-season. Those who take a break at Belvedere will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the west coast of Sicily. Be sure to have your camera ready!

Spectacular views of Castellammare del Golfo and the entire coastline! Ideal as a stopover on a road bike tour along the SP63 or SP187. The climb is short but challenging – about 2km with a gradient of approximately 6–8%, but you'll be rewarded with a truly postcard-perfect view. Tip: It's best to start in the morning or late afternoon – the light is at its best and there's less traffic. Perfect for a quick drink and a photo break – there's plenty of room to stop safely. Caution: No shade and no water source – refill beforehand! The road surface is good, but watch out for loose stones on the descent.

Interesting grotto with open-air museum. Entrance fee is 3 euros

Castellammare del Golfo is a beautiful location overlooking the gulf of the same name, worth visiting for its historical and gastronomic richness.
