Ancient castle, among the oldest on the island. Its construction dates back to before 1530 and is located on the slopes of Monte Inici, in the Castellammare del Golfo area. Unfortunately the ruins of the ancient castle are in a state of abandonment.

This castle is one of the oldest in all of Sicily. Now you know it and you can't not go and visit it.

Unfortunately what remains of the castle are only a few ruins, but suggestive, just think that in the central part of the Castle, adjacent to the tower that connects the two courtyards, there is a church, which probably coincides with the church of the Madonna della Mendola, built built in 1574, as testified among other things by a historian from Erice Antonio Cordici

“Campanam templo ponit cui mendula nomen cum cetu supplex urbs erycina dedit protege diva parens erycinos, protege fines quos habitas: humiles suscipe virgo preces “.

Come and visit it in the early hours of the morning or in the sunset hours because it will leave you truly enthusiastic: you will enjoy a light that can rarely be seen in other areas and you will be able to see nature on one side, sometimes wild and sometimes dominated by man with the immense vineyards and on the other you will enjoy the sun that illuminates Mount Inici offering a unique spectacle.
