Dimora Etta.
The youngster from the ancient harbor of Castellamare del Golfo

A thousand roads, one destination: Castellamare del Golfo

Castellamare is a precious city in a strategic location. Castellamare is surrounded by turquoise sea, beaches, and wild natural reserves, which are nonetheless very easy to get to. To breathe Castellamare’s air is to breathe the history of the Mediterranean. Indeed, famous writers and poets like Erodoto have been writing about Castellamare since the V sec BC. It wasn’t until the Arabs got to Castellamare many centuries later, however, that this city became a rich center of commerce with its harbor as hub for it all. That’s also when the first stones of the town’s castle, later expanded by the Normans, were laid out. Walk around the tiny streets, stop to enjoy some coffee on the town’s main avenue, and visit one of the magnificent medieval Churches, like the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary. Inside of this particular Church you’ll be able to admire the "Maronna di l'agnuni,” which translates to the English “Black Madonna”: black like the night in Castellammare, but lit up by yellow street lights. Follow these lights from the main avenue all the way down to the harbor where you’ll find exclusive night clubs and bars that make the magical Castellamare nights come alive. Relax and have fun!
