Il santuario è molto caratteristico, con i colori veri di San Vito, e non ha la struttura delle chiese classiche.
The sanctuary is very characteristic, with the true colors of San Vito, and does not have the structure of the classic churches.

La leggenda narra che attorno alla prima cappella dedicata al santo martire sia stata, nei secoli successivi , costruita la chiesa - fortezza per proteggerla dagli attacchi dei pirati barbareschi e per ospitare in sicurezza tutti quei fedeli giunti da lontano. La Torre è stata costruita intorno al 1.600, cioè subito dopo le altre torri di guardia che si trovano lungo la costa, costruite su progetto dell'architetto fiorentino Camilliani, incaricato dal viceré Colonna di pianificare le difese costiere dell'isola contro i corsari. Legend has it that around the first chapel dedicated to the holy martyr was, in the following centuries, built the church - fortress to protect it from attacks by Barbary pirates and to safely host all those faithful who came from afar. The Tower was built around 1600, that is, immediately after the other watchtowers along the coast, built according to a project by the Florentine architect Camilliani, commissioned by the viceroy Colonna to plan the island's coastal defenses against the pirates.

Il santuario è bello, all'interno scendendo qualche scalino si trova un altare piccolo con la preghiera a San Vito in una piccola grotta. Consiglio di visitare anche il giardino
The sanctuary is beautiful, inside going down a few steps there is a small altar with the prayer to San Vito in a small cave. I also recommend visiting the garden

Il Capo Egitarso mutó il nome in San Vito lo Capo fin dai tempi antichi per la testimonianza del giovane santo che qui si rifugio dopo la persecuzione di Mazara sua città natale. Il santuario del V' secolo é un luogo di preghiera. Nel 2002 é stata scoperta la fonte battesimale.
Capo Egitarso changed its name to San Vito lo Capo from ancient times for the testimony of the young saint who took refuge here after the persecution of Mazara his hometown. The 5th century sanctuary is a place of prayer. In 2002 the baptismal font was discovered.

O santuário é uma autêntica fortaleza medieval, mas tem um interior barroco de grande riqueza decorativa. Na cripta fica o suposto túmulo de San Vito. O santuário fica no centro histórico, bem perto da magnífica praia.
The sanctuary is an authentic medieval fortress, but has a baroque interior of great decorative wealth. In the crypt is the supposed tomb of San Vito. The sanctuary is in the historic center, very close to the magnificent beach.
