There is no precise news of the castle due to the earthquake that destroyed it entirely in 1693. It is certain, however, that the fortress belongs to the Norman age, and over the centuries it was owned by several families. Today we don't find any trace of the building. It was a quadrangular construction, with rooms under the ground, and a tower also quadrangular, with windows embellished with battlements to the Guelph. The only documentations that we can still find today are a pictorial representation and an oil fresco on canvas. Lately, the municipality has decided to act and restructure it.

Castelluccio di Noto is an archaeological site located in Syracuse. The site was discovered by Paolo Orsi and resembles a necropolis of over 200 artificial grotticella tombs.

The castle of Francofonte is located in the province of Syracuse, in the highest part of the town. There is no precise information about the origins of the structure but it is assumed to be around 1350, with the initial construction of the eastern cylindrical tower, to which the twin tower will follow. In the two towers the baronal houses were settled. The castle, at the beginning, had a rectangular shape.

The Chadra Castle was built in 1270 and was also known as 'Chadra'. The construction has been disputed several times among several important families in the area. Its structure had the shape of a master tower. In addition, there was also a large courtyard. Today we can only see ruins of this whole complex.
