Buseto Palizzolo is located in the hills east of Trapani, the highest of which is Monte Luziano [it] 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 [it] 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 [it], a vast wooded area which is among the largest in western Sicily.
The comune of Buseto Palizzolo, like those of Valderice, Custonaci and San Vito Lo Capo, were created as a result of the division of the very large comune of Monte San Giuliano during the 1930s.
