BAGLI

The bagli (From the Arabic  bahal, courtyard) are rural fortified structures, typical in the Trapani area, characterised by the presence of an internal courtyard. Situated in a dominating position in side a stronghold, they had areas destined for use as seasonal accommodation for the owner and for agricultural use; warehouses, barns, and rooms for the workers: there was also often a chapel. There were special spaces for grape pressing (palmentu) or olive pressing (trappitu).
