    The Norman, or Norman-Swabian, Castle of Salemi is a castle built on the top of the hill where the city of Salemi stands, in the center of the Belice valley. Built by Ruggero the Norman around 1077, on pre-existing Greek-Roman fortifications . The religious inscription I.C.N.C.R.I dates back to that period. The geographer El Edrisi already wrote about it in the 12th century. It was remodeled by Federico II di Svevia in the XIII century.
    On 11 December 1441, a confederation was formed in the castle of Salemi consisting of Salemi, Trapani, Mazara, Monte San Giuliano, Castelvetrano and Partanna, which undertook to defend Queen Bianca of Aragon.
