About
Quick facts: The square was named after the cathedral of Maria SS. delle Grazie, which dominates the space with its Sicilian Baroque facade. Every Sunday, the sounds of traditional Sicilian music echo here as locals gather for their morning coffee.
Highlights: Look closely at the mosaic on the floor in front of the cathedral; it shows an ancient map of Terrasini as it was before it became a fishing town. Local fishermen still sell their morning catch directly on the square, continuing a tradition 300 years old.
Insider tips
