You can explore 34 furnished rooms and access 4 terraces (Bastion, Guard Terrace, Attic Terrace and Garden Terrace), with panoramic views of the Gulf of Carini and Mount Calogero.

    During the visit, the storey comes to life thanks to two elements included:

    7 holograms of historical figures from the castle (with audio in Italian, English, French and Spanish), who recount events and stories related to these places, intertwining history, myth and memory.
    The castle is managed by a local cultural association, with knowledgeable and passionate staff, and is conveniently located about 20 minutes from Palermo.
