In addition to the ruins of the ancient site, a small museum, the Antiquarium, located at the entrance to the excavations, can be visited; various types of materials are on display: ceramics, fragments of painted plaster, steles, statuettes, votive reliefs, capitals and coins from Solunto and other origins.

The town is famous for being one of the favorite places of the Sicilian aristocracy who built numerous residences there which represent architectural masterpieces and are rich in works of art.

In a small room of the castle, are the coats of arms of the lords who owned it from King Roger until 1879, the year in which it came to Benedetto Mantegna, prince of Gangi.

The so-called Royal Palace of Sòlanto is a wing of the castle that was restored at the beginning of the 19th century in Neo-Gothic style, to host Ferdinand I of Bourbon.

Built to a design by the engineer Mario Umiltà in the years 1934/35 with an extension of 9000 m², it replaced the previous late 18th-century cemetery wanted by the Filangeri princes, which stood in the area now occupied by Giovan Battista Filippo.

Designed by Roberto Narducci in 1932, it presents a language adhering to fascist architecture, lightened in the rational façade with an asymmetrical clock tower.
