Baglio di Scopello

The Baglio di Scopello (bagghiu in Sicilian), a term dating back to ancient Greece which, nowadays, indicates an internal courtyard of a court, a farm or a small fort. In Sicily it is very widespread and you will find others. The baglio of Scopello is a small pearl enclosed in a square-shaped courtyard, which is accessed by passing through an arch bearing the inscription Baglio Isonzo. Inside, time seems to have stopped and today we find small artisan shops, restaurants, cafes and shops selling typical Sicilian products. Take some time to enjoy the peace that you breathe here, combined with the smell of pane cunzato that will make your mouth water. It is a freshly baked sandwich topped with sliced tomatoes, anchovies, salt, pepper, oregano, cheese and olive oil.
