Beautiful historic mountain village. Worth visiting on foot, by cable car, by public bus, by car, or by bike.

Outside of the fish market hours, a visit is not worth it at all. There are only a few run-of-the-mill cafes nearby, no fish restaurants or anything like that.

The cathedral will be a construction site for the entire year of 2026 and probably 2027. No visits possible.

A small hamlet of San Vito lo Capo, it essentially serves as the entrance (or exit) to the town.

coming from Castelluzzo, a hairpin bend and a semi-straight (that seems to never end) that in a couple of kilometers rises by over a hundred meters

Built in 1940, the village is part of an ambitious land reclamation project initiated by the regime to put an end to large estates and encourage the permanent settlement of peasant families, providing them not only arable land but also essential services. The village's architecture reflects the rationalist style typical of the era, with simple, functional buildings designed to meet the needs of the rural community. The central core included a church, a school, a fascist house, a main square, and several shops, along with housing for the settlers' families. Borgo Livio Bassi is one of the many rural villages built during the twenty-year Fascist period as part of the internal colonization policy. Today, although the village has lost its original function, it remains an interesting example of urban planning and architecture from the era.

The cathedral is difficult to photograph from the outside, as it is impossible to get a distance.
