Castelbuono Castle, a symbol of this small town in the Palermo hinterland. And it couldn't be otherwise, given its grandeur and the glorious history that ties it to the very life of Castelbuono even today. The castle was commissioned by the Ventimiglia family, one of the richest and most noble families in Sicily, whose ties are not only to the castle, but to the very existence of the town of Castelbuono. There is little information about the origins of Castelbuono, but we know that in 1269, King Charles of Anjou confiscated the feudal state of Geraci from the Ventimiglia family, forcing the then head of the family, Alduino, to find new accommodation for the inhabitants of his village. The settlement was married to Ipsigro, an ancient Byzantine farmhouse, which once stood where the center of Castelbuono stands today.

The Tower of the Marquis of Geraci was built in 1596 and served as a watchtower. It overlooks a rocky outcrop overlooking the Finale Ligure beach. The building now hosts temporary exhibitions.

For footwear, I recommend sturdy shoes for the middle section (mostly steps and easy to walk on) and hiking boots for the very top (medium difficulty). Birkenstocks, etc., are for risk-takers who prefer a helicopter rescue in the event of an accident – experienced firsthand. €5, OK, maybe a bit excessive – but let's be honest, how much does a beer at the beach bar or the trip here cost? At least there's no trash on the trail. Wonderful views and magnificent flora (early April) are guaranteed. It's better to start early in the morning, otherwise it's a highway full of tourists.

The entrance fee is €5 per person (October 2024). Allow yourself a little time in the morning (15-20 minutes). There are a few more people. Nevertheless, you should make the climb in the morning - because of the heat and the light conditions for taking photos. It is definitely worth it. An absolute must.

Nowadays there is almost nothing left of the castle. I can't recommend a special trip, but if you are in the area you should take a walk.
