The Baida castle has today become an agricultural farm and of the ancient building only fragments remain of a crenellated curtain wall which overlooks a beautiful Gothic-Catalan arched portal.

A dirt road starting from Baida Castle runs along the southern slopes of Monte Sparacio, leading to the Custonaci white marble quarry. The road surface is rocky and somewhat loose in some sections, but the places to be careful are two small depressions, where mud traps form after rainfall.

Baida Castle was probably built towards the end of the 13th century and subsequently expanded. Few traces of the ancient structures remain, for example the towers, the walls, a small church and a portal.

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.

Village where it seems that time has stopped, suggestive and characteristic. From here you can take the dirt road to the marble quarries

Castello di Baida, a characteristic baglio dating back to the 13th century in Catalan-Gothic style. The portal, engraved with little information and the year of construction, dates back to the 15th century

Ancient castle, among the oldest on the island. Its construction dates back to before 1530 and is located on the slopes of Monte Inici, in the Castellammare del Golfo area. Unfortunately the ruins of the ancient castle are in a state of abandonment.

This castle is one of the oldest in all of Sicily. Now you know it and you can't not go and visit it. Unfortunately what remains of the castle are only a few ruins, but suggestive, just think that in the central part of the Castle, adjacent to the tower that connects the two courtyards, there is a church, which probably coincides with the church of the Madonna della Mendola, built built in 1574, as testified among other things by a historian from Erice Antonio Cordici “Campanam templo ponit cui mendula nomen cum cetu supplex urbs erycina dedit protege diva parens erycinos, protege fines quos habitas: humiles suscipe virgo preces “. Come and visit it in the early hours of the morning or in the sunset hours because it will leave you truly enthusiastic: you will enjoy a light that can rarely be seen in other areas and you will be able to see nature on one side, sometimes wild and sometimes dominated by man with the immense vineyards and on the other you will enjoy the sun that illuminates Mount Inici offering a unique spectacle.
