Alcamo

Heritage-dense town at the foot of Monte Bonifato in western Sicily, Alcamo has a compact centre thick with historic churches, cafés, and listed buildings, with views across the vineyard-covered hills of the Gulf of Castellammare. The coast is close, with sand dunes visible at the marina hamlet a short distance away, and UNESCO World Heritage sites dot the wider region.
