Castello a Mare

Aragon Gate, Castello a Mare, Palermo.

Castello a Mare or Castellammare (pronounced [kaˌstɛllamˈmaːre]) is an ancient fortress that guarded the entrance to the port at Palermo in La Cala.[1] Extensive remains are visible, some of which are open to the public. There is a Norman keep, a fortified gate or entrance, and remains of a sophisticated Renaissance star-shaped defence.

The fortress gave its name to the city's historical district of Castellammare.
