Scicli Travel guide
Scicli : Michelin's recommendations
The name suggests that this was the town of the Siculi. These first inhabitants established their colony on the top of the San Matteo hill. Later, the Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans settled here, disturbing the tranquil existence of the Siculi, yet at the same time introducing their culture and art. Unfortunately, the 1693 earthquake ravaged Scicli and destroyed traces of this ancient past.
