A former medieval fortress; today only sections of the seaward walls remain beside modern administrative buildings.
Castello di Terra is a former medieval coastal fortress in the historic centre of Trapani, Sicily. In the sixteenth century it formed part of the city’s bastionised defensive system, serving as the principal landward stronghold protecting the harbour and urban core. Today, only sections of the seaward defensive walls survive, while the former landward area of the castle site is occupied by modern administrative buildings, including the Questura of Trapani, which houses the provincial headquarters of the State Police.
