Sciacca is a historic fishing port on the southern coast of Sicily. A workaday town rather than a polished tourist destination, it is famed for its ceramics, its thermal baths and its religious festivals, as well as for its large fishing fleet. Sciacca's location on the sea between the two Greek archaeological sites of Selinunte and Agrigento makes it a good stopover on a tour of the region, either for an short visit or an overnight stay. The name Sciacca is pronounced 'shack-a'.
Present-day Sciacca spreads over different levels of the hillside. Down by the sea is the big fishing harbour, along with a few houses and seafood restaurants. The town's main square, the panoramic Piazza Scandaliato, is on the next level up, with the heart of the historic centre spreading uphill behind it. Higher up the slope are the town's castle and the upper perimeter of the old city walls. Beyond the old settlement lie sprawling and unattractive modern areas.
Sciacca's prime feature is the panoramic piazza at its heart: Piazza Scandaliato. One side of this square opens onto a view of the fishing port and sea below. High-backed benches face either direction, so Sciacca's old men and courting couples can choose to watch people passing by, or to face the view. This is a good place to begin an exploration of the town, as there is a tourist information office in the square. Either from your accommodation, or from this office, when open, you should be able to pick up some useful maps and tourist information in various languages: Sciacca may not be prettily-packaged as a tourist town yet, but it obviously is keen to encourage tourism.
There are only a handful of streets wide enough for cars in the centre of Sciacca, and these are frequently packed and chaotic with traffic. Pedestrians, though, are free to wander up and down the narrow lanes and alleys criss-crossing the centre. Some are wide enough for the town's adventurous scooter-riders to glide down, others are narrow and have steps to climb. Visitors should note that touring Sciacca thoroughly, from sea-level to hill-top, is a strenuous endeavour with lots of climbing.
At a prominent high point on top of the hill is a large church dedicated to St. Michael, the traditional saint of high places. Following a steep lane downhill you reach the remains of Sciacca's fourteenth-century castle, the Castello Luna, which is sometimes open to the public and hosts events in summer. Further downhill is a twelfth-century Norman chapel, the Chiesa di San Nicolò. The town's Duomo, or Chiesa Madre, is situated in an attractive square just off Corso Vittorio Emanuele; the sea visible through a gap in the buildings opposite. Founded in the twelfth century, the church now has an elegant seventeenth-century façade which was never quite finished. One of the most curious buildings in town is Palazzo Steripinto, with its unusual studded stonework walls. The town's fine old stone gateways are largely intact. Close to Piazza Scandaliato, visitors should spare a few moments for the former Church of Santa Margherita, with some lovely carvings on the exterior and an impressive interior. Just over the road is the Chiesa del Carmine, dating to the twelfth century, featuring a memorably off-centre rose window in its facade.
Sciacca still attracts visitors today for its thermal spas. At the Terme di Sciacca establishment a large range of treatments are available, many aimed at particular medical conditions and available as part of the Italian public healthcare system. The Stabilimento Termale is near the centre of town, on a panoramic clifftop road called Via delle Terme. There is also a thermal swimming pool complex outside town, called the Piscine Molinelli, and the adventurous tourist or spa enthusiast could find their way to the natural 'steam caves' in the slopes of Monte San Calogero (called the stufe di San Calogero), used since ancient times for therapeutic purposes and now another part of the Sciacca spa business.
