Geography
Buseto Palizzolo is located in the hills east of Trapani, the highest of which is Monte Luziano with a height of 500 metres above sea level. Buseto Palizzolo is composed of various areas and hamlets, without a main central settlement. The main settlements are Buseto Centro, Badia, Battaglia, Buseto Superiore, and Pianoneve. These settlements blur into one another, but the frazioni of Bruca, Fazio, and Città Povera are located at a distance of 11, 5, and 6 km respectively from the centre.
3 km southeast of Buseto Superiore is Bosco di Scorace, a vast wooded area which is among the largest in western Sicily.
