With the arrivals of the Normans, Ruggero Altavilla, conquered Kerkent (Agrigento) on July 25, 1086 - said Malaterra, and he immediately began the conquest of eleven castles, including Licata, Bifar, Muclof, Naro and Remise, all familiar to the Ravanusani, as a locality.

De Crescenzo can be considered one of the fathers of Ravanusa from a religious and civil point of view; in 1450 he obtained permission from King Alfonso of Valenza to build an inn for travelers which was built in the lower part of the current town (Via Ibla).

With the authorization of the bishop of Agrigento Domenico Xart, he built a convent in Ravanusa for the regular canons of San Giorgio in Alga; this building was next to the Church of the Madonna del Fico, whose feast, as Pirro reports, was celebrated on August 15 with a fair and a market and a large number of people.

This happened on December 30, 1472 and from that date the barony of Ravanusa began, which continued in the various hereditary ramifications until 1806 (September 1) when Ferdinand III of Bourbon abolished feudalism .

In December 2021, an explosion due to a leak of methane gas from the pipes, destroys seven buildings, causing 9 deaths, including an entire family, and 100 displaced.
