Castello di Venere
At the top of the hill stands the Norman Castello di Venere, built in the 12th and 13th centuries over an ancient temple of Venus, which was destroyed by Roger I when he captured the town. Not much more than a ruin today, the castle is upstaged by the panoramic vistas northeast to San Vito lo Capo and Monte Cofano (659m), and southwest to Trapani.

Chiesa Madre
Of the several churches and other monuments in this small, quiet town, the Chiesa Madre, just inside Porta Trapani, is probably the most interesting by virtue of its campanile (bell tower) with mullioned windows. Built in 1314, the church had its interior, which has a lovely vaulted ceiling, remodelled in the neo-Gothic style in 1865, but the 15th-century side chapels were conserved.

Museo Civico Antonio Cordici
At the top of Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the heart of the city, and the place where you'll find the Museo Civico Antonio Cordici. The museum houses finds from the town's necropolis, including a 4th-century head of Venus. The other piece worth seeing is an elegant Annunciation by Antonello Gagini.
