Built in the 14th century by order of Enrico and Federico Chiaramonte due to its privileged location overlooking the sea, Alcamo Castle has an impregnable exterior, while its interior is elegant. It has a rhomboid layout with four towers—two square and two round—and a large internal courtyard. The castle's openings are Gothic-style mullioned windows with two and three lights. In the 19th century, the Castle of the Counts of Modica became the property of the Municipality of Alcamo. Today, it houses the Regional Wine Shop of Western Sicily.
