Castellammare del Golfo is located in Sicily at 41 km from Trapani. It is a big agricultural and trading centre placed on a slope at the end of the homonymous gulf. Castellammare del Golfo agriculture produces corn, legumes and grapes. Woodworking is also important as well as needle work. Castellammare del Golfo name comes from the Latin word for castle at the sea. It dominates the gulf. In the cathedral church at Castellammare del Golfo, visitors can admire a 15th century fresco by G. Tresca and the Majolica statue of the Madonna. The Castle is probably of Arab origin. It rises from an isthmus destroyed many times. Scopello’s beach is situated nearby. It is an evocative little bay sheltered from the Faraglioni and protected by old towers.
