Then the Lungarini to appease the near Marquis gave him the water in its fund Naurra, for which it already had taken place the previous negotiations, allowing them to easily obtain the license required direction.

The first settlement is arranged around three sides of the tower-castle square matrix. Peasant homes were modest, hence the name "Casuzze.

Even in the history of the Risorgimento Casteldaccia has had his share.

When Palermo revolted in 1848 against the Bourbon kings a squad of soldiers went to Casteldaccia. The 'standard bearer who was in command of soldiers waving a white handkerchief to the provisions of the villagers said that in the meantime had been holed up inside the houses. But was answered that there was no bread for the enemy garrison headed for the beaches in the country where they were waiting for some ships.

The soldiers were about to embark, when some villagers began daring, from the heights of the clash of the couch, making fire with rifles.
