THE HORIZON AS HOME
LICATA,
ITS PEOPLE & ITS SOUL
The true wealth of Licata lies in its people.
Proud and straightforward, they welcome you like one of their own while also sharing their stories with honesty and openness.
Stories shaped by the sea, hard work, dignity and pride.
From this land comes a voice like that of Rosa Balistreri, who was able to turn the pain and truth of this place into song, giving a voice to those who had none.
Her spirit is still alive today, in the streets, in the silences, and in everyday gestures.
The Feast of Saint Angelo, patron saint of Licata, brings together the sacred and the popular in days filled with participation and emotion. Decorated mules, the sea palio, boats, fireworks and the collective excitement all tell the story of a deep bond with the sea and with faith.
Then there is Good Friday, lived with respect and deep emotion: a silent procession that crosses the town, where time seems to stand still and every step carries memory and devotion.
Licata is not just a place to visit.
It is listened to, felt, and lived.
And those who truly encounter it carry something with them that lasts.
SICILIAN CARTS,
HORSES AND MULES
Sicilian carts tell the story of the island through vibrant colours and ancient symbols. Once tools of everyday work, today they are folk artworks that parade during festivals, rich in memory and identity.
Alongside them, decorated horses and mules, adorned with ribbons and ornaments, transform the streets into a collective ritual of pride, tradition and beauty.
A living heritage that, in Licata, continues to move and to tell the story of the most authentic Sicily.
During the Feast of Saint Angelo, the sea of Licata becomes a stage of light.
Fireworks burst over the water, reflect on the Mediterranean and illuminate the town in an intense and unforgettable display.
From the balcony of the apartment, from a high and privileged position, the spectacle is experienced in a truly unique way: no crowds, no noise, just the sea ahead and the sky lighting up.
A suspended, intimate moment that stays with you, in your eyes and in your memory.
LOCAL GASTRONOMY
In Licata, food is both memory and pleasure.
It is born from simple recipes passed down through families, shaped by the sea, the seasons and genuine ingredients. Freshly caught fish, fragrant olive oil, bread and bold flavours tell the story of an honest and authentic cuisine.
Alongside tradition, in recent years a more gourmet vision has also emerged, reinterpreting these flavours with elegance and creativity without losing their soul.
Here, every dish is an act of love — an invitation to sit, share and savour Sicily at a slow pace.
A NEW CHAPTER FOR LICATA
In recent years, Licata has been experiencing a phase of urban renewal and rebirth, starting from the seafront along Via Principe di Napoli and still steadily moving forward, gradually transforming the face of the town. Along this path of change, small gestures of care and creativity also make a real difference.
The lace artworks of Biblofilando, handwoven and suspended between narrow streets and squares, dress the town in light and delicacy.
These airy creations reshape the urban space, telling the story of a living, attentive community, able to honour its roots with a fresh and contemporary outlook.
Licata grows this way, step by step: more welcoming, more aware, and increasingly beautiful.
