In 1693, a group of peasants moved fromGratteri in the mountains, to a zone near the sea. They began to build houses around an existing bell tower. Baron Gaetano Ventimiglia gave the new hamlet the name of Lascari, in honor of his descent from the strain of Lascari's emperors of Constantinople. In 1840 Lascari became independent fromGratteri and in 1890 the right to a territory was granted but only in 1924 the town obtained it. Today the territory is about 10.4 square kilometres (4.0 sq mi) with a population of 3,500. Lascari is located 50 kilometres (31 mi) east ofPalermo, the capital city of Sicily. During these last years a lot of detached or semi-detached houses have been built near the beaches, so in the summer a lot of holiday-makers come here fromPalermo or other towns in the centre of Sicily. The town hall is in "Aldo Moro" square.
