Constructed by one of the greatest European Kings of the time, the Norman Roger II (or Ruggero) of Sicily, between 1075 and 1090, the Castle of Carini is superbly positioned atop the highest rock on the hill. Stately and unconquered from the North side, while looking down on a strong and imaginary enemy already defeated, it is outlined against the blue sky during the day as if it were at the outer limits of the universe, while its silhouette against the dark night sky makes one shiver with fear as if it were a Shakespearean Castle.
Now a museum, it is a symbol of peace and prosperity, of battles won and lost, of passionate love affairs and of the rich culture that surrounds the town of Carini.
The Castle is famous for the tragedy of the Baroness of Carini, murdered by her father. Her crime, and in those days it was tantamount to a crime in Italian law, was betraying her husband by taking a lover. Her lover, meanwhile, was killed by her enraged husband.
