Getting to know Sambuca
The town of about 6000 inhabitants, at 357mt above sea level, is included in the club of The most beautiful villages in Italy,the association of small Italian towns that stand out for their great artistic, cultural and historical importance, for the harmony of the urban fabric, livability and services to citizens.
The urban development of the country follows two directions: the Arab one “inside the walls”, which is projected until the entire sixteenth century with the thickening of the residences around the fortress of Zabut, and the seventeenth-eighteenth century one “outside the walls”, with the town hall to act as a hinge.
You can still find visible traces of a past that has seen different architectural styles intertwin and merge with each other in a unique blend. Founded by the Arabs before the Year 1000, the village presents a historical center realized on the Islamic model that stands in contrast to the baroque facades of Nineteenth Century churches and palaces.
