A
Palazzo Riccio di Morana
Although the narrow network of streets in Trapani's historic centre is Moorish, the city takes most of its character from the fabulous 18th-century baroque of the Spanish period. A catalogue of examples can be found down the pedestrian Via Garibaldi, most notably the Palazzo Riccio di Morana and Palazzo Fardelle Fontana. The best time to walk down here is in the early evening, when the passeggiata (stroll) is in full swing.

Santuario dell’Annunziata
Trapani’s major sight is the 14th-century Santuario dell’Annunziata, 4km east of the centre. The Cappella della Madonna, behind the high altar, contains the venerated Madonna di Trapani, thought to have been carved by Nino Pisano.

Chiesa di Sant'Agostino
Further west, on Piazzetta Saturno, is the 14th-century Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, its austerity relieved only by its fine Gothic rose window and portal.
