Salemi: A Hilltop Gem Among Vineyards

Nestled in the vineyard-covered hills of the Trapani countryside, Salemi stands on the ancient site of Halicyae. The town is home to the 13th-century Castello Normanno (Norman Castle), built on the ruins of an older fortress, featuring two square towers and one distinctive cylindrical tower. The Museo Civico (Civic Museum), housed in the Jesuit College next to the baroque church, features artwork such as the Madonna della Candelora (Madonna of Candlemas) by Domenico Gagini.
