Mazara del Vallo - Villa Garibaldi

If we leave the cathedral in Mazara del Vallo and turn left along its west facade, we find ourselves on the edge of the park of Villa Garibaldi, which runs parallel to the shore road. At its southeast end, where it joins with the Piazza Castle Mokarta, stands the ruin of a Norman castle; an inscription recalls the fact that Count Roger built the Castle of Mazara in 1072, at the same time as the one at Paternò in eastern Sicily.
