Why is it masculine?

Sitio is masculine because it derives from the Latin "situs" (masculine), meaning "placed" or "position," which retained its masculine gender through the regular sound changes from Latin to Spanish (Latin -us typically becomes Spanish -o in masculine nouns). The word's masculine gender is therefore a direct inheritance from its Latin etymological root rather than following any particular Spanish rule.
