Menfi is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Agrigento in the Italian region Sicily, located about {{convert|70|km|mi}} southwest of Palermo and about {{convert|60|km|mi}} northwest of Agrigento.

The town lies some {{convert|3|km|mi|0}} from the south coast of Sicily, between the rivers Belice and Carboj. In 1910, a full third of the population of the town of Menfi had emigrated to the United States.[2]

Main sights

  • A tower (Torre Federiciana), which is the remains of a medieval castle built by Frederick II of Hohenstafen in 1238, perhaps over an Arab fortification.
  • Chiesa Madre ("Mother Church"), built in the 18th century but destroyed by an earthquake in 1968. It was later rebuilt.
  • Church of St. Joseph (1715).

The remains of an Iron Age prehistoric settlement were found in the 1980s outside of the town.
