Hexagonal City


Grammichele, Sicily was the first city in Europe with a hexagonal plan, created by Michele da Ferla. Its design was most likely influenced by Palmanova, a fortified town constructed a century earlier. The primary distinction is that Grammichele has a hexagonal plan with the potential to be extended indefinitely. The design enables planned growth and healthy living in addition to the construction of lovely European style boulevards.
