Gibillina Castelluccio Svevo Castle

The Gibillina Castelluccio Svevo Castle was built in the thirties of the thirteenth century at the behest of Frederick II, it has the characteristics of the Swabian castles: parallelepiped shape, smooth faces, cantonal with squared ashlars.

It fulfilled multiple functions: the management center of the fiefdom, the imperial warehouse for the storage of wheat, the sovereign's solace for falconry.

In the fourteenth century it comes to the Chiaramonte who made changes to the openings.

Belonging to various feudal families, always detached from the fief of Racalmuto, in the nineteenth century it was aggregated to its municipal territory. The last noble family to own Gibillina was the Trigona di Sant'Elia until 1971.

Private property. Consolidation restorations began in 2001.
