Paceco

Paceco is a small town that stands on a rocky hill overlooking the white salt pans of Trapani and Paceco.
Paceco was originally a feudal village and only became a city in 1607 through the work of Prince Placido Fardella.
The original nucleus of the municipality of Paceco develops on a perfect orthogonal plan. Arranged on the vertices of an ideal quadrilateral are the Mother Church consecrated to the SS. Crocifisso, the stately castle that has now disappeared with the nearby Church of Porto Salvo and the church and adjoining convent of San Francesco di Paola. At the center of this ideal quadrilateral is the oldest church in the village dedicated to the Madonna del Rosario.
The many streams, the mild climate and the fertile land have allowed the cultivation of vineyards, olive groves and other agricultural products of excellence.
