This attractive harbor-town on the north coast was founded in ancient times as the port for the Elymian town of Segesta. An Aragonese fortress was erected by the harbor in the 14th century. The facade of the Chiesa Madre dates from 1726; inside there is a majolica statue of the Madonna.

Every August the town is the host of the Sicilian song festival "Agosto Castellammarese".
