Top Attractions in Alcamo
💡 The crypt under the altar is open only at 10:30am on Saturdays — ask the sacristan, who's usually by the donation box near the main door.
💡 Step into the side chapel on the left — there's a small fresco fragment uncovered during restoration that shows the original gold leaf.
💡 Go late afternoon — the light on the stone is gorgeous and there's usually a breeze. The tower door has no sign; it's just to the left of the main arch.
💡 Even if you're not into contemporary art, climb to the roof terrace — it's open during exhibitions and gives a rare view across the rooftops to the sea.
💡 Buy a granita from Bar Roma across the street (€1.50) and sit on the steps of the cathedral — you'll get the best people-watching and the sun won't hit you.
