Castello Grifeo, Medieval castle and art museum in Partanna, Italy
The castle features four sides arranged around a rectangular courtyard, with Guelph battlements and thick walls built using pozzolanic mortar and stones.
The first documented mention of the castle dates to 1355, referring to 'castrum Partannae cum habitatione' during the medieval period in Sicily.
The castle now houses the Regional Museum of Prehistory of Belice, displaying Neolithic and Bronze Age artifacts, including pottery, human skeletons, and agricultural tools.
After restorations in 2003 and 2007, the castle opened its halls for cultural events and exhibitions, making it a center for community gatherings.
The main banquet hall contains a 1777 fresco depicting Christian knights during the Battle of Mazara, including Count Roger of Sicily.
