About Scicli
Scicli sits at the junction of three valleys, a few kilometres from the sea, and its historic centre was rebuilt in the 18th century after the 1693 earthquake. Palazzo Beneventano, with its Moorish-head masks, and the Town Hall, used as the Vigata police station in the Montalbano series, are the best known buildings. The municipality has about 20 km of coast, with seaside villages including Donnalucata, Cava d'Aliga and Sampieri, where a crescent-shaped beach ends near the disused Fornace Penna brickworks. Our homes are spread over eight kilometres or so, between the old town and the coast, so the address matters. Most are for around five people, most have air conditioning, about half a garden and a third a pool. Out of season the town is a working place of about 27,000 people.
