Castello di Caccamo, Norman fortress in Caccamo, Italy.
The castle extends over a limestone cliff at 521 meters above sea level, featuring thick stone walls, towers, and V-shaped battlements across multiple levels.
The fortress dates back to 1094, when Matthew Bonnellus constructed it as a military stronghold before the structure became the residence of noble families.
The castle contains prison cells with inmate drawings, a conspiracy room where Norman barons plotted against King William I, and decorated halls with family crests.
The castle opens daily for guided tours, and visitors can dine at the A Castellana restaurant located on the ground floor of the structure.
The castle includes a chapel equipped with a trapdoor system that sent unwanted guests falling directly into the underground dungeons during medieval times.
