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.

An impregnable fortress and prestigious residence of Enrico and Federico Chiaramonte, who likely built it between 1340 and 1350, the castle takes its name from the Counts who owned it from 1410 to 1812. With its sturdy structure, built on a rhomboidal plan, and four alternating towers—two cylindrical and two square—it protected the city and withstood violent attacks for centuries, including the infamous one by the Islamic pirate, Barbarossa. On the north facade, two original single-lancet windows remain, while in the internal courtyard, two double-lancet and three-lancet windows remain. The castle's grand staircase is made of red marble from the quarries of Mount Bonifato. Opposite the theater dedicated to the poet Cielo d'Alcamo, in the same square, the symbolic monument of the city of Alcamo, the Castle of the Counts of Modica, stands before the visitor.

It is absolutely recommended to stop to admire a breathtaking view

From the Belvedere above Castellammare del Golfo, a stunningly beautiful route leads to Scopello via the SP63. The road winds along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the sea, small bays, and the surrounding mountains. Tip: This route is perfect for a relaxing downhill ride on a road bike – little traffic, good asphalt, and spectacular panoramic views. In Scopello itself, charming cafés, the famous tonnara (a kind of fish market), and a perfect spot for a longer break with sea views await you.

The Bay of Guidaloca is a quiet spot, especially in the off-season, ideal for relaxing days by the sea. Easy access by car and available parking make it a convenient destination for families and travelers who want to enjoy Sicily's natural beauty away from the hustle and bustle.

The SS187 is a winding state road that winds from Castellammare del Golfo towards Belvedere and then on to San Vito lo Capo. The climb offers fantastic views of the bay and the expansive sea – especially in the early morning hours or just before sunset. Tip: The route is very popular with road cyclists – it's a steady climb with good asphalt and little traffic during the off-season. Those who take a break at Belvedere will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the west coast of Sicily. Be sure to have your camera ready!
