Museo civico di Castelbuono, Municipal museum in Castelbuono, Italy.

The Museo Civico di Castelbuono occupies a medieval castle with square towers, displaying a mixture of Arabic, Norman, and Swabian architectural elements.

Count Francesco I Ventimiglia initiated the construction of this fortress in 1317 on Mount San Pietro d'Ypsigro, establishing a strategic military position.

The museum preserves local heritage through four main sections: Urban Planning, Archaeology, Sacred Art, and Contemporary Art, featuring works from numerous Italian artists.

Visitors can explore exhibitions in the former stables and San Giorgio hall, with current schedules and special events listed on the official museum website.

The Chapel of Sant'Anna contains elaborate stucco decorations by the Serpotta brothers from 1683 and houses the skull relic of Castelbuono's patron saint.
