Poggioreale (Sicilian: Poggiuriali) is a ghost town and comune in the province of Trapani, western Sicily, southern Italy, located in the Belice valley. Its economy was mostly based on agriculture and fruit cultivation.
In 1968, the Belice Valley earthquake destroyed the entire town of Poggioreale and killed 200 people. The town was eventually rebuilt in a safer place a few kilometers south.
