Historical background

The first references to the Rocca della Trabia, a word that meant mansion, date back to 1153, testifying to the castle's ancient origins. In the 15th century, Blasco Lanza married Eloisa, heiress of Bartholomew, prothonotary of the kingdom, securing the succession of Trabia, the palace of Palermo and all other properties.

Over the centuries, the castle has been the scene of numerous events of historical importance, to the point of closely linking its name to that of the last prince of Trabia, Raimondo Lanza, a truly unique character.
