It
was born as "Emporium Segestanorum", it means dock of the rich Segesta.
Due to strategic position it began to be in fight with the near city of Selinunte.
In the following period, Castellammare is called, under arabic domination
(827 sec. a.d.), Al Madarig (perhaps this name was becouse a starway which
from the castle go to the dock). With the conquer of the Sicily by the Normanni,
Castellammare become important fortress for the war the war betwne Aragonesi
and Angioni, which finished with the victory of Federico II, and due to the
alliance with the angioini the imperator forbid the commerce of the wheat
in the dock. Only with the domination of the Aragonesi the dock restart to
work, and it is in this time that the they make the castle more strong and
large. In XVIII century the town continues to grow also becouse grow the commerce

The
past left us many monuments and surly the castle is the most important. Interesting
are also the church colled "Chiesa Madre" , and the smollest church
<'da maronna di l'agnuni> . It's also intersting the Castellammare's summer
