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.

The seaside castle, known as the Arab Norman castle, is a fortification that stands near the marina of Castellammare del Golfo, once an emporium of the city of Segesta. The castle is the symbol of the town on the gulf, but also of the entire island; it is in fact a witness and testimony of all the populations that have crossed Sicily in the last ten centuries.

In the center of the great Calatubo valley, stands a solitary fortress about one hundred and fifty meters high, on top of which the Castle sits. The fortress appears inaccessible to those coming from the sea, although, in reality, it can be reached from the south-west side which has a sloping surface. The fortress, due to its position, has always been a strategic point in which to retreat to protect oneself against possible attackers. In ancient times, it was a garrisoned site during the period of Greek colonization in Sicily and then a military outpost in the Roman, Byzantine and Norman periods, making it a fortified and strategic outpost for territorial and road control. With the Arab domination, the castle no longer had a military function and was used as a residence and farm, to support the vast fiefdom, by the various nobles who followed one another as owners.

The Calatubo castle is an ancient fortress that rises in the surroundings of Alcamo, in the province of Trapani. The site, which has very ancient frequentations, with the remains of an Elymian settlement and a necropolis, has undergone various alterations over the centuries.

Castello Arabo Normanno. Since it was built by the Arabs on the remains of ancient fortifications around the 10th century, it is a silent witness to ten centuries of turbulent history in this region. Repeatedly rebuilt by its successive conquerors and changing owners, it stood invariably at the entrance to the port. Interestingly, it was surrounded by the sea until the 1980s. Today, in the place where the waves used to wash the castle, there is a promenade, and the castle itself is public property - there is a museum center in it.
