 Information about Castellammare del Golfo and its history
Set in the very fine gulf of Castellammare, at the feet of a high, rugged mountain rich in luxuriant vegetation, the town slopes gently down towards the sea as far as the little peninsula on which there stands the castle, between two magnificent beaches of soft sand.
Castellammare del Golfo according to the consolidated opinions of historians and geographers, came into being as an "emporium" of the nearby town of Segesta-an ancient and mysterious population-traded with foreign ships.
The further development of Castellammare-which with varying fortune maintained its role as a harbour- is to be ascribed to the period going from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, when it grew considerably in size and importance.

Castellammare del Golfo, secondo le opinioni di storici e geografi, nasce come emporio (porto) della città di Segesta.
La storia della cittadina del golfo, perciò, si identifica - almeno sino all'827 d.C., quando diverrà araba - con quella di Segesta, poichè di questa subì le stesse vicende.
L'ulteriore sviluppo di Castellammare - che con alterne fortune conservò la sua qualità di porto - è infine da ascriversi al periodo che va dal Seicento sino all'Ottocento, quando la città vide un crescente sviluppo.
