The Godfather filming locations in Sicily: a resident's guide
Last updated on October 9th, 2026.
Where was The Godfather filmed in Sicily?
Most of the Sicilian scenes were shot in two hilltop villages near Taormina, Savoca and Forza d'Agrò, which stand in for Corleone in the story. The real town of Corleone, in the province of Palermo, wasn't used. The trilogy also filmed at Castello degli Schiavi in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia, Taormina's train station and, for Part III, Teatro Massimo in Palermo.

Introduction
Sicily is known for its history, architecture and its food.
However, it's also known for the Mafia, and no film has shaped that image more than The Godfather.
Since the first movie came out in 1972, the trilogy has kept drawing new fans, and many of them want to see where the Sicilian scenes were filmed.
In this guide I’ll show you The Godfather filming locations in Sicily, along with addresses, a map and the tours that cover them.
Most of these places are free to see from the outside, which is why many also appear in my guide to free things to do in Sicily.
It's a fun addition to your Italy bucket list, so bookmark this post for later.
We return to our home in Sicily every summer, and it’s close to many of the locations.
For general advice, see my guide to planning a trip to Italy and my Sicily travel tips.

The Godfather filming locations by film
| Film | Sicilian locations |
| Part I (1972) | Savoca (Bar Vitelli, Chiesa di San Nicolò), Forza d'Agrò, Castello degli Schiavi, Motta Camastra |
| Part II (1974) | Sparagogna station near Regalbuto, Castello degli Schiavi, Don Ciccio's villa (Casa di Don Ciccio, Acireale), Forza d'Agrò (some sources) |
| Part III (1990) | Taormina–Giardini station, Teatro Massimo in Palermo, Forza d'Agrò, Castello degli Schiavi, Villa La Limonaia and Castello Scammacca, Segesta |
The Godfather basics
The trilogy is based on the novel by American author Mario Puzo, published in 1969. Francis Ford Coppola's first film followed in 1972, with Part II in 1974 and Part III in 1990.
The story follows the fictional Corleone family, headed by Don Vito Corleone. Part I covers 1945 to 1955, with the youngest son, Michael, eventually taking over from his father.
Part II is both a prequel and sequel. It follows Michael in the late 1950s and goes back to early 20th century Sicily, where Vito’s childhood and rise are told.
Part III begins in 1979, with Michael mostly having legitimized the family’s business interests and a new successor on the scene. The story closes in Sicily.
Why Corleone isn't a filming location
The story is set in Corleone, a real town in the province of Palermo, about 1hr 20mins by car from the capital.
It wasn't used for filming. Several guides say the production found Corleone too modern for 1940s Sicily, which is why Savoca and Forza d'Agrò stand in for it.
Fun fact: The Godfather is also mentioned in The White Lotus, which was filmed in Sicily too.
Savoca: Bar Vitelli and the Godfather wedding church
I never miss the chance to visit Savoca.
It's 10 minutes’ drive from our home in north-east Sicily, and there are plenty of things to do in Savoca to fill a day trip.
Savoca is one of Sicily's borghi, the small hilltop villages Italy is known for. Others include Castelmola and Palazzolo Acreide, and all three are listed among the most beautiful vilages in Italy.
If you like this kind of village, I cover more borghi in Asolo, Arquà Petrarca, Orta San Giulio and Montemerano.
Why Coppola chose Savoca
Savoca dates to the 12th century. A series of winding roads climb towards the medieval village, and the view gets better at every bend.
It's easy to see why Francis Ford Coppola chose it for the film.
As soon as you enter the small main square, Piazza Fossia, the film's presence is obvious.
A metal statue of Coppola pointing his camera stands just opposite Bar Vitelli.
Parking in Savoca
Parking can be tricky because the village is small.
We usually park on the road at Via Rina and walk up. Parking isn't free, and you pay at the machine as standard. However, we’ve also driven many times into the village past Bar Vitelli, where there's more parking ahead, but it's tight.
We have friends who live in Savoca, and to my knowledge you don't need a permit to drive in. However, look out for signs when you arrive.
Bar Vitelli, Where Michael meets Signor Vitelli
A rustic bar with a retro entryway leads into Bar Vitelli, which appears in several scenes in Part I:
- Michael and his men sit outside and talk with the owner, Signor Vitelli, about his daughter, Apollonia. After calming an angry Vitelli, Michael asks for permission to court her
- a family lunch with Signor Vitelli, Apollonia and Michael
- the wedding celebration in the piazza after the church ceremony.
One room inside is covered in Godfather memorabilia. While you're here, order a granita al limone, with a sip of Zibibbo wine if you like.
The bar occupies part of Palazzo Trimarchi, a palace dating to the 18th century.
The same building also houses a boutique hotel, Vitelli Charming Suites, with just 5 suites and the chance to stay somewhere iconic.
Bar Vitelli/Vitelli Charming Suites, Piazza Fossia, 7, Savoca
The wedding of Michael and Apollonia
A traditional Sicilian wedding needs a historic church, and Coppola found it in Savoca.
The 13th century Chiesa di San Nicolò is where Michael and Apollonia's wedding was filmed.
Its early architecture followed the Norman Sicilian style but this changed over time. Personally, I prefer Chiesa Santa Lucia and Chiesa di San Michele, both just a short walk away, but Chiesa di San Nicolò is worth seeing.
Santa Lucia is the namesake church of Savoca's patron saint.
Every second Sunday in August, it hosts the Festa di Santa Lucia. The village comes to life with re-enactments, music and a full day of festivities; something that's unique to Savoca.
We watched it one August, and I was blown away by the scale and duration of the parade. It seemed like the entire village, and from surrounding towns, took part to uphold the annual tradition.
A marching band, and lively characters in colorful costumes, it's an experience you won't forget in a hurry.
Chiesa di Santa Lucia (St Lucy’s Church), Via S. Nicolò, 1
Chiesa di San Michele (St Michael’s Church), Via S. Michele
While you're in Savoca
Make the most out of your Savoca visit, by adding the following sights to your list:
- Castello di Pentefur (Pentefur Castle fortress), Via Chiesa Madre, 5
- Convento dei Cappuccini (Cappuccini Convent), Via Cappuccini
- Chiesa Madre di Savoca (the 'Mother Church' 12th century), Via Chiesa Madre, 5
- Porta della Città di Savoca (city gate), Via S. Michele.
Where to stay in Savoca
If you're planning on spending a night or two here, consider Resort Borgo San Rocco.
It blends in perfectly with Savoca’s medieval origins, and guests can dine outdoors with views over the Sicilian hills.
Resort Borgo San Rocco, Via S. Rocco

Forza d’Agrò Godfather locations
I’ve visited Forza d’Agrò at least a dozen times.
This small hilltop borgo mixes old and renovated houses, with uneven stone paths, medieval buildings and historic churches.
In any list of Godfather filming locations in Sicily, Forza d’Agrò is a name that comes up again and again.
Godfather scenes in Forza d’Agrò
The borgo is another stand-in for 'Corleone'. The scenes filmed here include:
- Michael and his men are walking through the streets (Part I). The street is Via Roma. When they pause, Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata is visible in the background
- The church itself. Its exterior reflects a classic Sicilian Baroque style, and it appears again in Part III when Kay and Michael walk through the town and see a wedding taking place
- Casa de Il Padrino (Part III). On Vico I Roma is the house where Michael tells Kay was his father's birthplace. In real life, it’s privately owned, so you can't go inside. But, you’ll know you're in the right place when you see a tile by the door with a print of the scene. It took us a while to find on our visit, mainly because the house is easy to miss.
- Via Belvedere: the main road surrounding Forza d’Agrò was used to film the car scenes.
Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata, Via SS Annunziata, 8
Casa de Il Padrino, Vico I Roma, 5
Taormina-Giardini station (Part III)
The town of Taormina features in Part III, but not through the places you'd expect.
Instead, Taormina-Giardini train station stands in for the one in Bagheria, a real town east of Palermo. My favorite station on this side of Sicily, it's one of several stops on the way to (and from) Catania.
In Part III, Michael and Kay are at the station.
⏩️ Read: Things to do in Taormina
The Part II station is somewhere else.
The Corleone station in Part II (where a younger Vito returns to Sicily) isn’t this one. It’s the disused Sparagogna station near Regalbuto, which is in the province of Enna.
Castello degli Schiavi in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia
Castello degli Schiavi, in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia in north-east Sicily, appears in all three films. In Part I, it's first the entrance to Signor Vitelli’s home, which later becomes Michael and Apollonia’s villa.
In Part II, the family dines together along with a younger Don Corleone’s extended family. Its final appearance in Part III is the backdrop for Michael's meeting with several politicians.
Castello degli Schiavi today
The castle used to be hired out for private events but now it's apparently closed. Sources say that it might have been sold, but I haven't been able to confirm this myself.
Check the current status before visiting and don't plan a visit around it.
Castello degli Schiavi (Castle of the Slaves), Via Badalà, Fiumefreddo di Sicilia
Motta Camastra Godfather scene
Another Godfather filming location is Motta Camastra, in the province of Messina.
It appears briefly in the scene where Michael and his men approach 'Corleone', and one of them points out their destination.
Acireale: Villa La Limonaia, Castello Scammacca & Don Ciccio's house
Acireale sits at the foot of Mount Etna and is known for its carnival and Baroque monuments. It also has three Godfather locations.
Villa La Limonaia (Part III)
This neoclassical villa, surrounded by a park and a lemon grove, is Don Altobello's home in Part III. It's where Vincent tells the boss he'd like to run away with Mary, Michael's daughter, but can't.
Today it's used for weddings, concerts and private events.
Villa La Limonaia, Via Carico, 149, Acireale
Castello Scammacca (Part III)
Castello Scammacca, also called Castello Pennisi di Floristella, appears in the final scenes of Part III. It stands in for the home of the boss Lucchesi, in the scene where Calò delivers a message from Michael.
Baron Agostino Pennisi di Floristella built it in the 19th century in a neo-Gothic style.
Piazza Agostino Pennisi, 11, Acireale
Casa di Don Ciccio (Part II)
Don Ciccio's house appears in the flashbacks of young Vito's story, and again when the adult Vito returns to take his revenge.
In real life, it's private property, plus it's abandoned, so you can't freely visit.
Don Ciccio's Villa from The Godfather Part II, Via Vecchia Pozzillo, Acireale
Teatro Massimo in Palermo (Part III finale)
Teatro Massimo in Palermo features in Part III.
The family attends Anthony’s performance in Cavelleria Rusticana, and the film's dramatic finale takes place on the theater's grand staircase, where Michael's daughter Mary is shot.
The theater also runs guided tours of the interior.
Teatro Massimo, Piazza Verdi, Palermo
Segesta Temple (Part III)
The Tempio di Segesta makes a short appearance in Part III in the background of a driving scene. You see the Ancient Greek temple as Don Corleone is driving with his men.
Tempio di Segesta (Segesta Temple), Contrada Barbaro
Plan your own Godfather day
Taormina is a good base for seeing the filming locations nearby.
Taormina-Giardini station, Forza d'Agrò and Savoca are all close, and this is the order I'd follow:
- Taormina-Giardini train station. A quick stop, Part III location
- Forza d'Agrò. About 30 minutes from Taormina by car.
- Savoca. About 30 minutes from Forza d'Agrò.
Forza d'Agrò and Savoca deserve more than a quick stop, so give each of them real time. Both are hilltop towns, and the steep streets are tiring, so exploring is more comfortable outside the summer heat.
Motta Camastra is another possible stop if you have time.
Driving tips: traffic in Taormina is usually heavy, but it clears up quickly once you leave town. The roads leading up to Forza d'Agrò and Savoca have plenty of sharp curves, so drive slowly and take care.
Parking in Savoca: park on Via Rina and walk up (paid parking so pay at the machine), or drive in past Bar Vitelli, where there's tight parking ahead. See the Savoca section for details.
When to go: Sicily in autumn or spring is quieter than August, and more comfortable for walking the hill towns.
Castello degli Schiavi: it’s now apparently closed permanently, so I wouldn't plan around it. See the update above.
If you're based in Palermo: the Palermo sites are better with an overnight trip. Spend one or two days in the city, visit Teatro Massimo, then make a trip to Corleone, about 1hr 20mins by car. It isn't close, and the road runs through open country with nothing for kilometers. Fill up the tank before you leave and make sure your GPS works.
Godfather tours from Taormina and Palermo

A topic not discussed
In the many years I’ve visited Sicily, I've rarely heard people talk about the Mafia. It’s not taboo, but people know it exists and say little more.
The most visible reference is the anniversary of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the two judges the Mafia killed in 1992 for their work against it.
Cosa Nostra (as the Mafia is known by) is still active in parts of Sicily, but visiting is safe. We visited Mazara del Vallo on our Sicily road trip and really enjoyed it.
If you'd like to learn more about the Mafia in a group setting, consider the guided tours above.

FAQs on The Godfather filming locations in Sicily
Mostly in Savoca and Forza d'Agrò, two hilltop villages in the province of Messina near Taormina. Other locations include Taormina's train station, Castello degli Schiavi, Motta Camastra, Acireale, Teatro Massimo in Palermo and Segesta.
No. Corleone is a real town in the province of Palermo, about 1hr 20mins from the capital by car. Its scenes were shot in Savoca, Forza d'Agrò and Motta Camastra, which looked more like 1940s Sicily.
In Piazza Fossia, the main square of Savoca. It's where Michael meets Signor Vitelli in Part I, and it's still a working bar with Godfather memorabilia inside.
All three. Part I used Savoca and Forza d'Agrò, Part II used Acireale and the Sparagogna station near Regalbuto, and Part III used Teatro Massimo and Taormina's train station.
Michael and Apollonia's wedding was filmed at the Chiesa di San Nicolò in Savoca, a 13th-century church. Forza d'Agrò's Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata appears in other scenes.
Not at the moment. It used to host private events and now appears to be permanently closed, so I wouldn't plan around a visit.
Yes. From Taormina you can visit the train station, Forza d'Agrò and Savoca in a day, with about 30 minutes of driving between each. Forza d'Agrò and Savoca deserve time, so I'd skip anything else.
Yes. The theater is open for visits every day from 9.30am to 7pm, with the last visit at 6.20pm. The steps where Part III ends are visible from the square.
Park on the road at Via Rina and walk up, using the paid machine. You can also drive in past Bar Vitelli, where parking is tight. To my knowledge you don't need a permit, but look out for signs.
Yes. They're ordinary towns and well-visited sites, and guided Godfather and Mafia tours run regularly. Corleone has an anti-Mafia museum.

I'm off on Friday and I can't wait. I love Italy but this will be my first time to Sicily. As well as the Godfather tour I am also doing the Montalbano tour as I love that series. But mostly I am looking forwards to the food, the people and the mosaics!
Aw have a lovely time Christine! It's a good time of year to visit too 🙂
This post is fantastic! I've always been fascinated by the iconic locations from The Godfather. It's amazing to see where those classic scenes were filmed. I can't wait to plan a trip to Sicily and visit these spots. Thank you for sharing all the details!
Thank you so much!
Wow, I had no idea there were so many Godfather movie locations in Sicily! As a fan of both the film and Italy, I'm definitely adding these places to my bucket list. It's amazing to think that I can walk in the footsteps of such iconic characters as Don Vito Corleone and Michael Campbell. Thank you for sharing these hidden gems with us!
You definitely can here! It's a really fun way to see different parts of Sicily too
On our first visit to Sicily we actually did a Godfather tour. I actually have a photo of that Francis Ford Coppola statue. Before we leave this time, we are re-watching the Godfather movies. And with this post will identify some places we need to visit. I was interested to see Trapani on the list of places where the Mafia are still operating since we will have several days there. Good to be reminded that many of the scenes were actually shot outside of Corleone. This will be a post we keep handy as we head to Sicily soon.
Thanks Linda. Trapania has some pretty spots and while the mafia are still around they're very much hidden. I know you will enjoy your time here!
The Taormina/Giardini station featured in Godfather 3 is NOT the same as the one in GF2 - which is the Stazione Sparagogna (discontinued) at Catenanouvo.
Thank you for letting me know, I will look into that.
My wife and I were in Sicily and met the mother of Simonetta who played in the Godfather in the village it was filmed. Very nice lady.
That is so cool! It's an excellent movie franchise 😀
It is pretty cool that people can visit the locations where scenes from The Godfather took place. There are a few I'd definitely want to check out for myself.
You can and they're all free too!
I love godfather movie and I didn’t know it was shot in Sicily. It is such a beautiful place would love to visit someday
You must, the island is truly beautiful 😀
What is crazy is I've never seen the movie! This reminds me that I need to sit down and watch it.
That is crazy! I've watched one and two so many times 😀
I've always wanted to go to Sicily and hope to do so one day. This is a very informative post about movie locations of the Godfather and great for any fans of the film.
Thank you Elizabeth, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Sicily is just so beautiful. I would love to visit...The Godfather is such an amazing film how cool to visit the filming locations 😀
I hope you do one day! Sicily is waiting for you x
My husband loved the Godfather movies. I think these would be great places for him and his friend to visit having both enjoyed the films so much. I'd quite enjoy the scenic locations myself as they are lovely.
They really are lovely, even if you haven't seen the films!
I will have to for sure visit these spots when we get to Italy to visit family! Very coo an loved the movies! Coo, pictures too!
Thank you 🙂
I can certainly see why this was chosen as a location for the Godfather films. The scenery and buildings are beautiful. Great photos!
Thank you, it is the home!
Intrigued to visit Godfather movie locations in Sicily but couldn't do during my Italy visit.
I hope you consider this trip the next time you visit
I had no idea that Sicily had such big ties to the mafia! It does make a lot of sense that the Godfather Movie was shot there - what a neat place to visit.
It is the home of it unfortunately. But the locations are all beautiful.
I luv this movie!! My dad actually introduced it to me when I was daily young and the biggest thing that stuck with me the most (besides the story plot of course) was the locations the scenes were filmed. Now that I know where they were; I can plan my future Italy tour accordingly! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I'm happy to read that! It's a great trilogy (the first 2!) and I hope you do plan your visit here one day soon!
So many people are such big fans of the godfather - it must be so cool to see the real life locations! Thank you for this guide.
You're welcome, it's a really great series 😀
After watching the movie, I was terrified about visiting Sicily. But I've always wanted to visit all those amazing temples, historic cities and the delicious food there. I would love to really spend time to discover the best of the region and all the different areas that makes Sicily so unique and colorful.
I promise you it is safe here Noel! There is so much to discover I promise 😀
All of these places would be so great to see in person. I hope I get that chance someday!
I hope so too!
I am a huge fan of the movie and it's definitely awesome to visit all these locations. Thank you for sharing this super detailed post. You made a fan really happy. Bookmarking this post for future reference.
I'm so happy to hear that! Hope you visit one day
Oh wow. My friend is a big time God Father fan, so much that he wears customized t-shirts with his name styled in that logo. He's planning a Euro trip soon and I'm gonna send this to him. Wait what??? There's a Mafia Guided tour? Feeling safe or unsafe is one thing, going on a Mafia Guided Tour is a whole other thing! Haha. I don't think I can do that! Savoca is absolutely spectacular. Its that kinda place where poets look at the view and write! The Greek history enthusiast in me, loves Segesta!!
Your friend will really love this tour! The thought of a mafia inspired tour isn't for everyone but I promise these are safe 😀 Savoca is truly beautiful, I know you and your friend will love it here!
Sicily looks like a wonderful islands. I actually had no idea that the Godfather was filmed there! The scenery looks very beautiful.
It really is wonderful here and yes, many parts were filmed in Sicily 😀
While I've never watched the movies, it's always fun to see the locations a movie was filmed at. I also like learning about the history behind the locations and the subject, in this case, the mafia.
It's a great series that shows the dark side of the organisation
The Godfather is one of my favorite movies of all time. I would love to tour all the filming locations and see them in person.
I really hope you consider visiting Sicily to do this tour
I love traveling in the footsteps of movie locations, and The Godfather is one of the films of all time. I've seen him a few times, and I like it. That's why I pin your great article about a visit to Sicily. I haven't had a chance to see this island yet, but I will use your tips. A very inspirational post!
Thanks Agnes I'm happy to read that!
Sicily looks so magical, I would love to visit. Fantastis captures
I hope you do one day
This is gorgeous!!! I would love to go on a Godfather location pilgrimage, just fascinating...I love Italy...
I hope you do it one day!
Really cool post, very informative! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
That is an amazing topic. I remember watching the movie a while back. It is interesting to visit the place where it is filmed and learn some more facts about it.
Thank you Ossama, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I love the trilogy too!
Growing up with an uncle of Sicilian descent, this article was especially meaningful to me. It's no wonder it was the location of choice for filming The Godfather - not only because of it's connection to the Cosa Nostra, but because it is just so stunningly beautiful at every turn! I have never been to Sicily, by hope to visit some day. When I do, I'll definitely be checking out these filming sites. Thank you for sharing - I've bookmarked it for my future reference!
Thanks Jackie, I'm so happy to read that. These sites are so beautiful to see and you get the extra bonus of it being the Godfather film locations. I hope you visit one day!
This Godfather Movie locations tour is cool. I've watched the movie a long time ago, and I think I must watch this movie again before doing the tour. That way I will get a complete understanding of the locations on the tour. I think Francis Ford Coppola had really good eyes in choosing the locations.
He was a genius and portrayed the beautiful landscape and history of Sicily. It really is incredible!
Godfather fan or not - Sicily is on my list! I haven't researched this part of Italy yet, so your article definitely gave me some great inspiration. Savoca...stunning! Motta Camastra...oh yes! Hopefully one day I will be able to see it all!
I'm happy to read that! Savoca is not far from our home and I know you will love it 😀
How interesting that you can visit that many locations of the Godfather movie in Sicily. I have to admit, I did not watch the movie, but the locations look beautiful. I have visited James Bond movie locations specifically because they are movie locations. So I can understand the fascination with those places.
They really are beautiful and perfect for fans of the movie 🙂
Sicily is on my bucket list. I pinned this to use as a reference when planning my trip.
Great to know
