Castle of Mussomeli, Medieval castle in Mussomeli, Italy.

Manfredi Chiaramonte III constructed this defensive stronghold in 1370, establishing it as a symbol of feudal authority in medieval Sicily.
The castle chapel contains an alabaster statue of Madonna della Catena from 1516, representing the spiritual connection between prisoners and divine mercy.
