The charm of an ancient building meets the legend of a fabulous treasure: this is the best introduction for the castello di Favara, new stage of the tour to discover the castles of Sicily.
The disposition of the parts of the castle has the shape of a square: this characteristic is typical of Sicilian Swabian castles, particularly of the “palacia” (or “solacia”) built by King Frederick II of Swabia. Since it is located in a slightly elevated position, it was used almost exclusively as a residence.
Favara is a small town in the province of Agrigento. To get there from Agrigento, just take the county road 80 and follow the road sogns Favara. The journey by car takes about 20 minutes.
