We are a "Museo Diffuso," which means that Sciacca itself is our open-air museum. Here, every element of the city, including its people with their stories, represents our priceless treasure, ready to be shared with anyone who comes to visit us.
A UNIQUE GEM, BETWEEN HISTORY, NATURE, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Sciacca Coral is undoubtedly one of nature’s most intriguing mysteries, with origins and characteristics that make it unique in the world. This precious gem comes from Ferdinandea Island, a submerged island that mysteriously appears and disappears right off the coast of Sciacca in the Sicilian Channel.
With the Coral Experience, you’ll have the extraordinary opportunity to enter our artisan workshops, a sacred place for coral enthusiasts. Here, you can immerse yourself in the ancient crafting techniques passed down by coral masters, who skillfully cut, smooth, and work each tiny branch of coral one by one.
