Municipal Villa

The municipal building is surrounded on three sides by the Villa Comunale, in which there are numerous plant species, including palms, oleanders and figs. The municipal villa dates back to the same date as the construction of the palace, now the seat of the municipality. In the town hall square there is a map of the municipality of Pozzallo, in which the palace and the mother church are highlighted in a darker colour.
Characteristic, inside the municipal villa, are the two centuries-old trees planted by the express wish of the Marquis Corrado Tedeschi and which, even today, are clearly visible to those passing through the open space.
Among the peculiarities that catch the eye, there is also a small tank where, often, small goldfish are visible.
On the occasion of the "Day of the Righteous" 2023-2024, the "Luigi Rogasi" institute of Pozzallo wanted to dedicate a commemorative plaque with the planting of a tree, in the "Garden of the Righteous", inside the municipal villa to Daphne Caruana Galizia, a journalist killed by a car bomb in Malta on 16 October 2017 for her professional activity in denouncing corruption and criminals in her country. The honorable Pietro Bartolo, doctor and former MEP from Lampedusa, also participated in the ceremony and greeted him.
