Castello di Gangi, Medieval castle in Gangi, Sicily
The castle stands on Mount Marone with two ancient towers and a grand entrance portal facing southwest towards Piazza Valguarnera.
Francesco I Ventimiglia, Count of Geraci, ordered the construction of Castello di Gangi during the first half of the 14th century.
The noble floor contains a sequence of balconies with wrought iron railings reflecting the architectural style of Sicilian aristocratic residences.
In the 1960s through mid-1980s, the castle structure served as an educational institution before returning to its heritage status.
The right wing of the castle transformed into the Church of the Mount with an attached monastery for Franciscan friars in 1931.
