Castle of Carini, Medieval fortification in Carini, Italy
The Castle of Carini stands 170 meters above sea level, featuring a large courtyard, residential structures across two floors, and a continuous tower with battlements.
Built in 1075 by Norman feudal lord Rodolfo Bonello, the castle contains architectural elements from Arab constructions that preceded its establishment.
The castle includes a private chapel with a wooden tabernacle, Corinthian columns, and rooms decorated with frescoes dating from the seventeenth century.
Visitors can access the castle tower through a western entrance called Foresteria and observe the surrounding region from a mullioned window with the Abbate emblem.
In 1563, the castle became the site of a tragic event when the Baroness of Carini met her death at the hands of her father over an illicit relationship.
