It was <strong>built and expanded at different times<\/strong>, the original structure was the tower (of uncertain date, but certainly built not after the 9th century) in which <strong>falcons were also trained for hunting, hence the name<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The castle had a defense function and as mentioned it was modified and enlarged over the centuries and <strong>around 1800 new buildings were created, in which the nobility of the time resided<\/strong> . Today the castle <strong>is privately owned and is used as a hotel<\/strong> and as a ceremonial hall. <strong>You can still admire it from the beach and spend a day by the sea<\/strong> on this fascinating stretch of coast, with the castle in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top secret tip:<\/strong> By swimming towards the back of the castle you will arrive at another very pretty beach, where you will have another beautiful perspective of the castle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8396.jpg\" alt=\"Falconara Castle, Butera, Sicily\" class=\"wp-image-7461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8396.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8396-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8396-768x520.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Castle seen from another perspective &#8211;<em> Source:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.castellodifalconara.it\/\"> http:\/\/www.castellodifalconara.it\/<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8391.jpg\" alt=\"Falconara Castle, Butera, Sicily\" class=\"wp-image-7463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8391.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8391-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MAJ_8391-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"Fonte:%20http:\/\/www.castellodifalconara.it\/\"><em>Source: http:\/\/www.castellodifalconara.it\/<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dove-mangiare\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat\"><\/span>Where to eat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the two castles there is a good restaurant, where you can eat typical dishes of the Sicilian peasant culture, the restaurant &#8220;Senza funnu&#8221;.
