Ustica Attractions

Most of the island's inhabitants live in the chief village of Ustica, at a height of 54m/177ft near the 157m/515ft high Cape Falconiera, where the old defensive walls can still be seen. The center of life in Ustica is the village square. Many of the houses have been painted with murals by artists such as Guttuso and Omiccioli, and every summer competitions are held to find the best. A further event of note is the International Subaqua Sports Show (Rassegna Internazionale delle Attivitá Subacquee) held at the end of July.
