★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La più caratteristica città che ho visto in Sicilia... Grandioso il panino con il fritto di pesce al baracchino in piazza
 The most characteristic city I saw in Sicily ... Great is the sandwich with the fried fish at the shack in the square

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sur le plan patrimonial, la cité est assez riche en monuments intéressants, en particulier la cathédrale (Duomo) d'architecture normande remaniée au xviie siècle, le Palais du Steripinto de style catalan du xve siècle, superbe demeure avec sa façade « en pointes de diamant » et ses encorbellements médiévaux, la Porte Saint-Sauveur, arche qui mélange le baroque et l'art populaire.
Le carnaval de Sciacca date du xixe siècle. Les habitants se travestissent, par exemple le journalier en comte ou l'avocat en paysan. Défoulement autant que satire politique, il s'exprime aussi à travers les motifs des chars qui défilent dans la ville, le contenu irrévérencieux des poèmes déclamés pendant les festivités qui se terminent avec le roi Peppe Nappa par une profusion de saucisses, de macaronis et de vin.
In terms of heritage, the city is rich in interesting monuments, especially the cathedral (Duomo) of Norman architecture reworked in the seventeenth century, the Palace of Steripinto in Catalan style of the fifteenth century, beautiful house with its facade "spikes of diamond "and its medieval corbels, the Porte Saint-Sauveur, arch that mixes baroque and folk art.
The Carnival of Sciacca dates from the nineteenth century. The inhabitants disguise themselves, for example, the day laborer in the count or the lawyer in the peasant. As much as political satire, it also expresses itself through the motives of the chariots parading in the city, the irreverent content of the poems declaimed during the festivities that end with King Peppe Nappa by a profusion of sausages, macaroni and wine.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Il palazzo della zecca è oggi di proprietà privata e suddiviso in diverse unità immobiliari. Non è pertanto in alcun modo visitabile ed inoltre è stata completamente modificata la sua destinazione originaria. Non offre pertanto nessuna attrazione per il visitatore tranne per il fatto di essere stato, alcuni secoli or sono, il luogo in cui di batteva moneta nella città di Sciacca. La sua localizzazione è quindi solamente il segno dell'antica importanza di questa città.
The mint building is now privately owned and divided into several real estate units. Therefore it cannot be visited in any way and its original destination has also been completely changed. It therefore offers no attraction for the visitor except for the fact that it was, a few centuries ago, the place where coins were minted in the city of Sciacca. Its location is therefore only the sign of the ancient importance of this city.
