Camastra celebrates Saint Blaise on 3 February and 3 September; the first church built in the town was that of the Santissimo Salvatore, when houses numbered around forty, but by 1713 the census already counted more than 300 inhabitants.

The patron saint of Camastra is Saint Blaise, celebrated twice a year, on 3 February and 3 September.

The first church built in the town was that of the Santissimo Salvatore: alongside this sacred building stood at the time around forty houses, for a population that did not exceed sixty people. Already the census of 1713, however, recorded significant demographic growth, with more than 300 inhabitants living in about a hundred houses. Camastra also preserves the church of San Vincenzo, as well as the Castellazzo di Camastra and Monte Akragante, whose name recalls the ancient Akragas, today's Agrigento.
