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 Resuttano Castle is a historic building dating back to the 14th century, probably on the remains of an old Norman farmhouse. It belonged to the Ventimiglia family until it was expropriated by the Region.

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.

Castelbuono is located in the province of Palermo

It is very likely that it was built by the Greek-Byzantines, a Moorish window testifies to the sign of the Muslim Empire; then came the Normans who transformed it to the needs of the war. With the Aragonese and the Ventimiglias it became a real military fortress.

Built from 1316 and changed several times since then. Inside the chapel di Sant'Anna with stucco work from the 17th century and the Museo Civico with archaeological finds, which is well worth a visit. Entrance fee
