Description
Donnafugata Castle is a fourteenth-century castle 15 kilometers from Ragusa in Sicily, Italy.
The name, which is Arabic in origin, is misleading. It does not, in fact, refer, as first appearances might suggest, to a woman fleeing some tyrannical husband or father.
There are many local stories that try to explain the origin of the name Donnafugata, which translates from Italian roughly as 'the fugitive woman' or 'the woman who fled'.
What is striking about the exterior of the castle is the elegant Venetian Gothic loggia which dominates the central section of the main facade.
The large garden, shaded first by large Ficus magnolioides trees then by other Mediterranean and exotic species (succulents and cluster pines) conceals various follies intended to charm and bemuse its visitors.
