Castello Chiaramonte, Medieval castle in Palma di Montechiaro, Italy.
The stone fortress stands on a rocky cliff above the Mediterranean Sea, featuring defensive towers and a chapel with original architectural elements.
Federico III Chiaramonte ordered the construction of this coastal stronghold in 1358 to protect grain storage and defend against maritime invasions.
The castle chapel contains a marble statue of Madonna, created by sculptor Antonello Gagini during the Renaissance period of Sicily.
Located 5 kilometers from Palma di Montechiaro town center, the castle requires advance arrangements for interior visits due to preservation requirements.
This fortress remains the only Chiaramonte castle in Sicily positioned directly on seaside cliffs, serving both defensive and commercial functions.
