Alcamo

Alcamo straddles the lower slopes of Monte Bonifato in north-western Sicily, a setting that leads from its inland centre towards the plain and the Gulf of Castellammare. The town’s medieval Castello dei Conti di Modica, begun in the 14th century, remains a defining landmark, with its sturdy towers recalling Alcamo’s strategic past. Vineyards are equally central to local identity: Alcamo DOC wines are produced from grapes grown in the surrounding countryside. Nearby Alcamo Marina brings the town’s territory to the coast, while the centre retains a distinctly Sicilian street life of churches, markets and cafés.
