Terrasini is located between Palermo and Trapani, 24 km west of Palermo, 32 meters above the sea level in the wide and evocative Gulf of Castellammare, in the past, theatre of historical events and sailed by Greek, Phoenician and Roman vessels. It is a center of tourism, with a population of about 10.000, which triples in the summer months, not only for the location of the town but also for the hospitality of it's people. Terrasini probably got it's name because of the coast filled with caverns from Latin "terraesinus".

  • My other great grandmother (Francesca Scola) was also born in Terassini. Her husband (my other great grandfather), "Frank" Gaspero Ragusa, was born in Trapani, Sicily. My grandparents were born in America (Detroit, Michigan and Boston, Massachusets). They spoke Sicilian but they didn't teach their children to, unfortunately.

  • My great grandfather (Luigi Frontera) and great grandmother (Rosalia Favazza) were born in Terrasini, Sicily. How beautigful it looks!

  • Non capisco tutte queste polemiche...

    Sono delle belle foto della costa di Terrasini (e solo Terrasini)... di Trappeto non si vede proprio nulla... l'allevamento ittico si trova di fronte la spiaggia tra Trappeto e Balestrate ed è in mare aperto o quasi :)...

    in ogni caso a mio parere tutto il tratto da S.Vito e Terrasini è uno dei più belli della Sicilia e poco importa dei comfini amministrativi lungo la costa che prima di tutto è SICILIANA!

    Ciao a tutti
