Outstanding experience & there is a great video as well showing & explaining all the background stories. 👍

Couldn't see the video due to too many people from a tour group and no seats, but I heard it is good. Lovely statue. Small museum with some other archeological items

Interesting museum but just to see the statue of the satyr and how it was found.

Quite extraordinary. Watch the video in the cinema when you go.

Thought there was more to see, for a €8 enterance fee. All there was one piece of satire with 5 pots, rest were photographs. Wouldn't recommend.

The backstory behind the dancing story, how he was found and how they fixed him and put him together, is very interesting. If you are visiting, I would recommend to watch the short film in the museum, so you can get a full picture.

Five Stars only for the “Dancing Satyr”. It’s the only thing you are going to see…

Beautiful little theater built in the middle 1800s from wooden beams from old ships.

Impressive piece of art Built with the wood of old boats Needs some renovation

Must see place in Mazara del Vallo! Walking tour is free

Antonio, a guide, knows everything about Mazara. The teatro was great to see and get a sense of the history of Mazara.

Very like

(Translated by Google) A small theater, but one with a rich history. If you're in Mazara, I recommend visiting. Admission is free, and the theater staff were very helpful and kind in providing us with information. (Original) Piccolo teatro ma che al suo interno ha una grande storia. Se siete a Mazara vi consiglio di andarlo a visitare. L'ingresso è gratuito e il personale addetto al teatro è stato molto disponibile e gentile a darci qualche informazione.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful ancient theater in Mazara del Vallo! We were very happy because when we entered there was a very kind lady, a volunteer, and she told us the history of this theater. (Original) Bellissimo teatro antico a Mazara del Vallo! siamo stati molto felici perché quando siamo entrati c'era una sig molto gentile, volontaria e ci ha raccontato la storia di questo teatro

Beautiful baroque church … Although, very rude students sending the tickets .. not only in this church, but also in others in the town..bought 2 tickets at the same time, tickets were supposed to be valid in all churches in town 🤷🏾‍♀️ in the next church the girl told us (very poor English..) that one ticket is valid and the other is not so we can’t go inside. She couln’t explain why, did not answer the questions .. 🤷🏾‍♀️ quite dissapointing….

We were lucky enough to be present for the celebration of the Madonna del Paradiso and were allowed to enter this baroque style cathedral. Just stunning.

Magnificent church with altar from 1093 that had been closed for ca 140 years before it was reopened in 2007. Thanks to the wonderful church caretaker who told us about the church by chance!

Impressive decorations baroque-roccoco Well maintained Nice people offering information

A really beautiful church the art and sculptures are really amazing, as well as the explanation behind it.

Very nice and particular. A very good example of barocco architecture in Italy. It is closed from 13 to 17

Amazing, really beautiful. When you enter the first time you'll just say "wow"

Better outside than inside!

Beautiful space,quite and historically interesting

among the best interiors I've seen in sicily after 7 months & hundreds of chiesa

Absolutely beautiful cathedral, didn't expect a lot until I stepped inside and was blown away.

Really cool interiors

Awesome and beatiful Cattedrale

Beauty where you don't expect it!

Beautiful white sand beach with one Lido next to the other. Recommended.

👍

(Translated by Google) Very kind staff, very good dishes, honest prices. Congratulations! Very good. (Original) Personale gentilissimo, piatti molto buoni, prezzi onesti. Complimenti! Bravissimi.

(Translated by Google) Suitable for relaxing family days. Parking is easy to find nearby, but otherwise, they could make it more appealing, given that there are much nicer beaches nearby that offer a better variety of menus and drinks. (Original) Adatto a rilassanti giornate in famiglia. Facilità di trovare posteggio nelle vicinanze, per il resto dovrebbero renderlo più "accattivante" visto che comunque nelle vicinanze ci sono lidi molto più carini e che offrono una migliore varietà di menù e beveraggio.

(Translated by Google) Untapped potential... they have a wonderful location and could do more (Original) Potenziale non sfruttato... possiedono un luogo meraviglioso è potrebbero fare di più

(Translated by Google) Excellent beach, clean and well managed. The staff is friendly and the quality/price ratio is very good. The environment is quiet and the stations are well spaced. The sea is wonderful. We will definitely be back. (Original) Ottimo lido, pulito e ben gestito. Il personale è gentile ed il rapporto qualità/prezzo è molto buono. L'ambiente è tranquillo e le postazioni risultano ben distanziate. Il mare è meraviglioso. Sicuramente torneremo.

(Translated by Google) Excellent beach. The service is good as is the availability of beach loungers during the high season. Prices in line with the rest of the local market. 2020 update: this year too the SoleRosso lido confirmed the good quality of its services, with attention (which we appreciated) to the cleaning and disinfection of individual sunbeds before use. Well done! (Original) Ottimo lido. Buono il servizio così come la disponibilità dei lettini da mare durante l'alta stagione. Prezzi allineati al resto del mercato locale. Aggiornamento 2020: anche quest'anno il lido SoleRosso ha confermato la buona qualità dei suoi servizi, con un'attenzione (che abbiamo apprezzato) alla pulizia e disinfezione dei singoli lettini prima dell'uso. Bravi!

This is a beautiful old building that is in the process of being restored. With small museum displays and art gallery, this truly is the best value in the historical center at zero cost. The miniture display of old buildings is my favorite! A beautiful building with s history of learning that is a must.

It’s the busy fishing port that gave Mazara del Vallo a place on the map and unless you spend a few languid hours poking around the old fleet of colourful trawlers clogging the harbour, you’ll never get the true feel of Mazara’s trapped-in-a-time-wrap atmosphere. Yes, each activity here seems to be an endeavour that happened a century ago: check out the lively and noisy fish market where the daily night catch is displayed on the pier at the crack of dawn. Fish, alive and kicking make the last attempt at freedom; clams, half-open close their shells on touch while crawling octopuses struggle to hole up from view. The language you hear is itself an oddity: a mix of Sicilian dialect and Tunisian Arabic, nowhere else spoken or understood. But Mazara is much more than a mere fishing port and a fish market. The old town boasts a good number of interesting relics and architectural gems, some of which date back to the Arabic and subsequent Norman colonization era of the city. These are for the most part concentrated around the remodelled Norman Duomo and the neighbouring Piazza del Plebiscito. On this graceful square, right in front of the Museo del Satiro stands what is perhaps the finest specimen of a medieval building in Mazara. This is the former Jesuit College, a palatial 15th-century building that saw generations of students attending lectures and holing in for the night in one of the institution’s dormitories. Meticulously restored, the building is now a showcase of medieval Sicilian Baroque where permanent exhibitions of excavated material rub shoulders with religious artifacts collected from various churches and private homes in the city. On entering the doorway, itself an exhibition piece of elaborate bas-reliefs sculpted out artistically in the masonry, one is confronted by a gem of a courtyard renovated to its original finesse and distinctive details. Fringed by a graceful porticoed passageway, it is swathed in lacy Baroque decor, the capitals at the head of the supporting columns being graced with Old Testament scenes carved out of the stonework. Take the steps to the first-floor loggia where on a clear day, the decorative stonework becomes bathed in golden sunlight turning the building into a monumental sculpture gallery. One corner room on the ground floor (left as you enter) should on no account be missed. It is a storehouse of engravings, paintings, ceramics, drawings and statuary created by Sicily’s best artists. Every item on show is well captioned in Italian and English. Nearby, also on Piazza del Plebiscito stands the ruined Church of Sant’Ignazio, a small rotunda that lost its cupola and most of its mural decor ages ago. But the unique design of the building and the collection of surviving artifacts (some wall frescoes, free-standing pilasters, two altarpieces and lots of marble) render it one of Mazara’s top attractions.

Statue was beautiful, but 6 euros just to see this???! And the staff could put on a smile...

(Translated by Google) It is almost impossible to approach the Museum of the Dancing Satyr and not see this imposing and elegant baroque facade with a portal that invites you to browse inside and ... SURPRISE!!! In unusual times for the restoration after the collapses of the building (former Jesuit college, now passed to public management) one can once again savor the severe geometry of the internal courtyard and discover, under the portico of the front opposite that of the main entrance , access to an exhibition that is, in fact, SURPRISING! The repertoire of models, the result of the miniaturistic ability of the master Ignazio Auguanno, commendable for his passion and competence and for his dedication to the "small" promotion of the architectural beauties of Mazara, is condensed into a series of environments, finally made available to him by city ​​administration. And it is a succession of glimpses, views, angles, perspectives of the most beautiful and interesting both from an architectural and historical point of view that is available in the "real" panorama of Mazara del Vallo which is then, as in most Italian cities , mainly belonging to the religious heritage. And therefore churches from the most ancient, compact and minute to the largest, majestic and baroque rendered with a perfect imitation in scale of the materials, the colours, the individual architectural details up to the skilful modeling of railings, railings and metal grates. As I stated above, it is a journey condensed into three rooms and a corridor containing, I believe, almost all the heritage of churches, convents and bishoprics available in Mazara, made even more vivid by the passionate presence of maestro Augustano who willingly lends himself to accompany us on this mini-tour of Mazara, giving us historical information, anecdotes and the discovery of details (to us!) unknown and which we would not have known or been able to grasp from a "real life" visit to every single building represented, both for the expenditure of time necessary for the mandatory presence of an expert guide available for several days. Cultivating this type of activity is an opportunity to be seized, not only for curiosity and tourist interest, but also from an informative and educational point of view, alas! and alas!, with little hope of seeing his passion, technique, skill and, above all, methodology passed down. In fact, these miniaturistic masterpieces were created by simply parameterizing heights and lengths according to the most ancient but still effective method - and you can see and touch the results! – geometry of the similar triangles of Thales' theorems, without any use of specialist instruments although available today: such as simple spacers or laser-meters, or metric levels and stadia, or optical theodolites, then digital and geo-referenced, or the photo- survey and photo-restitution, or even radar and 3D laser-scanner with graphic restitution in computer-supported drawings, etc. . Promoting and publicizing this type of activity, and this one in particular, does not only constitute a dutiful homage and heartfelt recognition to the master Ignazio Auguanno but corresponds to the re-appropriation of the real as opposed to the virtual, to the recovery of artisan manual skill as opposed to digital and IT automatism (which I certainly do not intend to underestimate or worse demonize!) as an experiential and growth factor, of acquisition of skills and competences otherwise not verified in reality... with benefit for many, if not for all! Improving its visibility, lighting and communication, giving it a pseudo-museum character, would not constitute material help to maestro Auguanno but an investment for the implementation of the tourist attraction of Mazara and the full emancipation of one of the so-called "poor arts" or "popular" increasingly sought after in the definition of modern museum itineraries. With the hope that this invitation of mine will be accepted by the local administration! (Original) Quasi impossibile avvicinarsi al Museo del Satiro Danzante e non scorgere questa imponente ed elegante facciata barocca con un portale che invita a curiosare all'interno e ... SORPRESA!!! In tempi non usuali per il ripristino dopo i crolli dell'edificio (ex-collegio dei Gesuiti, ora passato alla gestione pubblica) si può riassaporare la severa geometria del cortile interno e scoprire, sotto il porticato del fronte opposto a quello dell'ingresso principale, l'accesso ad una mostra, appunto, SORPRENDENTE! Il repertorio dei modelli, frutto dell'abilità miniaturistica del maestro Ignazio Auguanno, encomiabile per la sua passione e competenza e per la dedizione alla promozione "in piccolo" delle bellezze architettoniche mazaresi, è condensato in una serie di ambienti, finalmente messigli a disposizione dall'amministrazione cittadina. Ed è un rincorrersi di scorci, visuali, angolature, prospettive di quanto di più bello ed interessante sia da un punto di vista architettonico che storico è disponibile nel panorama “reale” di Mazara del Vallo che è poi, come nella maggior parte delle città italiane, prevalentemente appartenente al patrimonio religioso. E quindi chiese dalle più antiche, raccolte e minute alle più grandi, maestose e barocche rese con una perfetta imitazione in scala dei materiali, delle colorazioni , dei singoli particolari architettonici fino alla sapiente modellazione di inferriate, ringhiere e grate metalliche. Come affermavo più sopra, è un viaggio condensato in tre sale ed un corridoio contenenti, credo, quasi tutto il patrimonio di chiese, conventi e sedi vescovili disponibili a Mazara, reso ancor più vivido dalla appassionata presenza del maestro Auguanno che ben volentieri si presta ad accompagnarci in questo mini-tour mazarese regalandoci notizie storiche, aneddoti e la scoperta di particolari (a noi!) sconosciuti e che non avremmo saputo o potuto cogliere da una visita “dal vero” di ogni singolo edificio rappresentato, sia per il dispendio di tempo necessario che per la obbligata presenza di una guida esperta a disposizione per più giorni. Coltivare questo tipo di attività è un’opportunità da cogliere, oltre che per curiosità ed interesse turistico, anche da un punto di vista divulgativo e didattico, ahimé! e ahinoi!, con scarsa speranza di vederne tramandate la passione, la tecnica, l’abilità e, soprattutto la metodologia. Infatti, questi capolavori miniaturistici sono stati realizzati mediante la sola parametrazione delle altezze e delle lunghezze secondo la più antica ma tuttora efficace – e se ne vedono e se ne toccano i risultati! – geometria dei triangoli simili dei teoremi di Talete, senza alcun ricorso a strumentazioni specialistiche pur disponibili oggigiorno: come i semplici distanziatori o metri-laser, o i livelli e stadie metriche, o i teodoliti ottici, poi digitali e geo-referenziati, o il foto-rilievo e la foto-restituzione, o perfino il radar e il laser-scanner 3D con restituzione grafica in disegni supportati dal computer, ecc. . Promuovere e pubblicizzare questo tipo di attività e questa in particolare, non costituisce solo un doveroso omaggio ed un sentito riconoscimento al maestro Ignazio Auguanno ma corrisponde alla riappropriazione del reale opposto al virtuale, alla ripresa della artigianale manualità opposta all’automatismo digitale ed informatico (che non intendo certo sottovalutare o peggio demonizzare!) come fattore esperienziale e di crescita, di acquisizione di abilità e competenze altrimenti non verificate nella realtà…con beneficio per molti, se non per tutti! Migliorarne la visibilità, l'illuminazione e la comunicazione, attribuendole un carattere pseudo-museale, non costituirebbe un aiuto materiale al maestro Auguanno ma un investimento per la implementazione dell'attrazione turistica di Mazara ed il pieno affrancamento di una delle cosiddette "arti povere" o "popolari" sempre più ricercate nella definizione dei percorsi museali moderni. Con l'augurio che questo mio invito venga colto dall'amministrazione locale!

(Translated by Google) Located right in front of the Dancing Satyr Museum, the former Jesuit College today presents itself as a well-recovered and valorized building, which hosts cultural events, temporary exhibitions and artistic initiatives. Next door is the ancient Jesuit church, left without coverage following the Belice earthquake: a tangible sign of the tragedy, preserved as historical memory. Also very interesting is the permanent exhibition with miniature reproductions of the main monuments of Mazara del Vallo, created with great attention to detail. Entrance is free, which makes the visit even more recommended! (Original) Situato proprio di fronte al Museo del Satiro Danzante, l'ex Collegio dei Gesuiti si presenta oggi come un edificio ben recuperato e valorizzato, che ospita eventi culturali, mostre temporanee e iniziative artistiche. Accanto si trova l’antica chiesa dei Gesuiti, rimasta senza copertura in seguito al terremoto del Belice: un segno tangibile della tragedia, conservato come memoria storica. Molto interessante anche la mostra permanente con le riproduzioni in miniatura dei principali monumenti di Mazara del Vallo, realizzate con grande cura dei dettagli. L’ingresso è gratuito, il che rende la visita ancora più consigliata!

Symbols of all faith, we found this corner whilst walking around!

(Translated by Google) Interesting to see, and there's the free Mazara in Miniature exhibition, worth spending half an hour or so there. Admission is free. But please make a contribution, even a small one, to support it. Unfortunately, the opening hours don't match those found online. (Original) Interessante da vedere e c'è la mostra di Mazara in miniatura gratuita, interessante da passarci mezz'ora/oretta e ingresso libero. Però lasciate un contributo, anche piccolo, per sostenere ciò. Purtroppo gli orari di apertura mi non sono coerenti con quelli che trovi su internet.

One of the best lidos in Mazara! Not only is the water and beach area very clear, the food selection is incredible and the staff are friendly. One of the only beaches with SUP available. Would highly recommend!

Incredible hospitality of everyone working there. Felt welcomed from the first second. Family business, good people, good coffee, good vibe, grazie mille ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best lido in Mazara del Vallo and cleanest stretch of the beach! You’ll enjoy friendly service from Emmanuele and his team, great drinks, reggae tunes and classic Sicilian snacks. 10/10

What a beautiful place, with great staff too!

One of the dirtiest beaches I've ever been to.

Great atmosphere, very good service and extremely helpful staff and willing to go out of their way to help when needed.

Nice place ..clean water

Bumpy and bad dirt road Beach covered in not sure what - old seaweed? Nobody there and been an adventure Won’t do it again

Interesting off road experience. Not sure what Google was thinking.

A bit out of the way do not well preserved but an amazing beach with clear clean water.

Relax time

Water was lovely but the seaweed had an horrible smell

Wild beach. The road is pretty bad, but the parking area is close to the beach.

Amazing beach,

(Translated by Google) The grandeur of the facade already tells many things, but, when you enter, you are surrounded by a beauty that you cannot imagine. So much that you don't want to leave anymore, so as not to deprive yourself of it. Absolutely worth seeing (Original) L'imponenza della facciata racconta già tante cose, ma, quando si entra, si è avvolti da una bellezza che non si può immaginare.

(Translated by Google) A building that aesthetically contributes a lot to the beauty of Piazza della Repubblica. Dedicated to "Vito Ballatore" it is a museum that brings together a collection of sacred art; there are valuable pieces of sculptures, silver, sacred vestments and paintings dating back to the 14th century. It is housed in the beautiful eighteenth-century Palazzo del Seminario. Worth a visit (Original) Edificio che esteticamente contribuisce molto alla bellezza di Piazza della Repubblica. Dedicato a "Vito Ballatore" è un museo che raccoglie una collezione di arte sacra; vi si trovano pregevoli pezzi di sculture, argenti, paramenti sacri e dipinti a partire dal XIV Secolo. E' ospitato nel bel Palazzo settecentesco del Seminario. Merita una visita

Amazing experience at this gorgeous winery. Chiara our tour guide was great and answered all our questions. The wine tasting experience was amazing and the staff was so welcoming and accommodating despite we were a large group. Highly recommended

We attended a wine tasting and tour and had a brilliant time. The gentleman showing us around (apologies we forgot his name - Giovanni?) was very informative and friendly. He spoke perfect English which was a pleasant bonus. Excellent value for money and a beautiful place. We bought several wines and have enjoyed them each night of our holiday

We got a spontaneous appointment for visiting the winery today thanks to Alessias quick reponse via mail. Arriving at the besutiful location, we had tasty wine and learned about the winery, the living and wine cultivation in Sicily in a very personal and heart-warming way. Thanks Alessia for the wonderful experience and priceless recommendations

Had a wonderful tour by a very enthusiastic lady who spoke passionately about the wine and the history of the estate. She guided us as beginners very well with how we should smell and taste. A fantastic experience, something you must experience when you are in Italy. We thought we were going with a group, but we had it all to ourselves. How nice! Due to the heat today, she took us in a van so we didn't have to walk. Very happy with this experience, I would recommend everyone to stop here for a tour and information about the management of the estate.

We really enjoyed the tour at this beautiful winery. The guide Claudia showed us everything important and we learned alot about wine making. We also got to try some good wines. The only problem was to get here as there are almost no taxis in the city of Mazara del Vallo. But we were lucky and got some help.

A fantastic winery with people that believe in what they do. You can see the connection they have with the nature around them and the extent they go to embrace and express it. Gorghi Tondi is definitely worth taking the time to go and visit. I highly recommend a tour of the winery and doing a tasting. It is very informative and only increases your appreciation for the wines they create and how they do so.

This 4th generation owned winery is located on a natural reserve. It was short but very informative. We also had the pleasure of tasting various wines from their production line. A great experience

Water is super beautiful but very cold 🥶

Very good for kids, shallow clean water. Good services for decent prices.

In October everything was closed. Clean beach, friendly weather. In the city all facility needed.

Love this place, very enjoyable to stay with family very near with the villa where we stayed

We went two days after a thunderstorm so the beach and sea wasn't very nice but the water was clean apart from seaweed

This was a real suprise in finding this place when we was driving.. we stopped and spent 5 hours on the beach lovely soft sand and very clear sea water.. No problem just stopping and parking car and going to the beach for a swim.

Its just an ordinary beach that its notvmot really the particular on these place.but people interested to come..all were welcome

Good atmosphere

(Translated by Google) The ruins of the Church of Sant'Ignazio of Mazara del Vallo are all that remains of the ancient Jesuit construction, built in 1701 on the remains of a palace of the Mazara nobles Adamo. Today only the baroque façade in carved stone survives, but that is enough to imagine a glorious past. The sacred building collapsed in 1933. In the last thirty years of its existence it served as a Cathedral, then it was closed to worship and transformed into a room for council meetings, a cinema and a venue for electoral rallies. (Original) I ruderi della Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Mazara del Vallo sono tutto ciò che resta dell’antica costruzione dei Gesuiti, costruita nel 1701 sui resti di un palazzo dei nobili mazaresi Adamo. Oggi sopravvive solo la facciata barocca in pietra da intaglio, ma tanto basta per immaginare un passato glorioso. L’edificio sacro crollò nel 1933. Nell’ultimo trentennio della sua esistenza funse da Cattedrale, poi fu chiusa al culto e trasformata in sala per riunioni consiliari, cinema e sede di comizi elettorali.

(Translated by Google) A fenced ruin is all that remains of the Jesuit Church of S. Ignazio, founded in 1701 whose roof collapsed in 1933. The façade survives, although unsafe, in carved stone, in Baroque style. The twin bell towers were also demolished for safety, following the bombings of 1943. Arches and columns were part of the original elliptical plan, with chapels along the walls: spandrels and windows, plinths, points, capitals and dadoes above giving a feeling of movement and agility to the entire design.

Anche i campanili gemelli sono stati demoliti per sicurezza, in seguito ai bombardamenti del 1943. Archi e colonne facevano parte della pianta ellittica originale, con cappelle lungo le pareti: pennacchi e finestre, zoccoli, punti, capitelli e dadi soprastanti che davano una sensazione di movimento e di agilità a tutto il disegno.

We will never return! The team (our waiter in particular) was not professional at all. Our waiter was aggressive with a 70-year-old man, shouting at him to leave the place in front of the other guests, ruining everyone else's dinner and experience too!We were all shocked by the way he handled a complaint about a pizza that arrived late and a fruit platter request, which was on the menu but apparently impossible to order because it was Saturday night!? It all looked like a joke but turned into a nightmare with the guest crying and almost a fight!I am really sorry because the food was good, but when unprofessional and uneducated people are hired, that's what happens! Customer service and passion for people and food are the keys to this job! Please avoid this place if you want to have a great night and not a nightmare!

Great restaurant Everything excellent Recommended

Pizza ok

Great food but service could have been a bit faster!

Tbh not the best pizza I had, service was not great either.

Pizza super !!!

Best food at best prices.
