The harbour
Breakwaters and quays give the map its most distinctive shapes. They form a set of long, angular lines that project into the sea and enclose a sheltered basin.

Tabula
Porto Empedocle is a port town on the southern coast of Sicily, a few kilometres from Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples. The map is organised around the harbour. Long breakwaters extend into the Mediterranean, and quays and industrial areas line the waterfront. Behind the shore, the town climbs onto the terraces and low hills.
The town is closely tied to literature. Andrea Camilleri was born here, and his fictional town of Vigàta, home of Inspector Montalbano, draws heavily on Porto Empedocle. Luigi Pirandello was born nearby, at the country house known as Caos. On the waterfront, the sixteenth-century Tower of Charles V still stands as a reminder of the town's role in coastal defence.
West along the coast lie the white marl cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi, one of the best-known sights of this shoreline. A Porto Empedocle map poster traces the curve of that coast, the geometry of the port and the streets rising from it. It turns a working harbour into a calm, graphic image.
Breakwaters and quays give the map its most distinctive shapes. They form a set of long, angular lines that project into the sea and enclose a sheltered basin.
The sixteenth-century tower at the port is one of the town's most recognisable landmarks. It stands among the harbour structures, where the town meets the waterfront.
West of the town, the coastline runs toward the white cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi. This smooth line of shore contrasts with the dense street pattern inland.

Cur Porto Empedocle
Readers of Camilleri, travellers who have explored Sicily's south coast, and families with roots around Agrigento all find something familiar in this map. It is a quiet way to remember the sea, the pale stone, and a harbour town that inspired famous fiction.
Give the poster your own title and subtitle, perhaps Vigàta for a literary touch, and set a date or a coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. It is available as digital files for $9 or as a printed poster.
