VICARI | CASTELLO DI VICARI | SICILIA | FPV AVATA - MAVIC AIR 3 CINE DRONE FOOTAGE 2024/07/13 Vicari is a tiny village where it is possible to enjoy a wonderful view of the island and its natural environment. Vicari was founded in the 13th century by Greeks and later colonized by Romans who built its charming castle. Thanks to its location, the Castle became a famous place where people could find refuge from Barbarian invasions. The most important monuments of the village are: The Church of Madonna delle Grazie; the Castle, built by Romans, it was completely reconstructed by Manfredi di Chiaramonte in 1390; the Mother Church of San Giorgio Martire, built in 1200, has a Latin Cross plan with three naves; the Church of San Francesco, built in 1570; the Church of San Vito built in the second half of the 16th century; the Church of San Marco, built in 1500; the Cuba Araba also known as Cuba of Ciprigna, is considered one of the most important proof of the Arab’s presence in Sicily. Vicari Castle, locally known as Castello di Vicari, lies in the town of the same name, in the Palermo province on the island of Sicily in Italy. The first fortification at this site was probably a tower built during the Arab period, around 900 AD. Around 1061 the area was conquered by the Normans. Vicari Castle itself was first mentioned in 1077, when the Norman Count Roger I of Sicily, stayed here after a military campaign. In 1299 Vicari Castle passed to the noble Chiaramonte family, who were to become the most powerful and wealthy family in Sicily. The castle, then named Castrum Biccari, was owned by them until 1337. During that time the castle was rebuilt and expanded. It are mostly the ruins of that castle that can be seen today. In 1338 Vicari Castle was obtained by the Valguarnera family. In the 15th century the castle passed through the hands of several families; the Talamanca, La Grua and Ventimiglia amongst others. In 1556 King Philip II of Spain awarded Vicari the title of County. The first Count of Vicari was Vincenzo del Bosco Agliata. His descendants owned the castle until 1722. Then it transferred, through inheritance, to the Bonanno Princes of Roccafiorita. They held the castle until the abolition of feudalism in 1812. How and when Vicari Castle fell to ruin I do not know. As far as I know Vicari Castle is fenced off and can thus not be visited. A nice castle ruin in a quiet town.
