Sambuca di Sicilia preserves traces of its Arab origins, including the castle and the historic Piazza della Libertà. Sambuca is also famous for its sweet wine, a Moscato, and for having become one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy". The landscape that surrounds it, between hills and vineyards, offers breathtaking views.

Museum of Memory

Highlight • Historical Site

It is a space created using the restored ruins of the former Mother Church, once a meeting place and point of reference for the religious and social activities of the town and then ruinously destroyed by seismic shocks. Inside, hundreds of photographs guide the visitor to discover the Belìce Valley and its nine villages (Gibellina, Montevago, Salaparuta, Poggioreale, Santa Margherita di Belìce, Santa Ninfa, Sambuca di Sicilia and Vita) before that shocking night of the 15th January 1968. Dozens and dozens of photographic shots immortalizing the faces of men, women and children, of destroyed houses, of devastated villages and in particular of rubble. And then all the phases of the first aid, the aid, the barracks, up to the urban reconstruction, but also to the human rebirth of all those people who found themselves protagonists of that tragic event.
