Poggioreale (Sicilian: Poggiuriali) is a small town and comune in Sicily, Italy, set on the Belice valley, which administratively belongs to the province of Trapani.
It was destroyed by the Belice Valley earthquake in 1968, and eventually rebuilt in a safer place a few kilometers away, causing the entire population to be moved there.
Economy is mostly based on agriculture and fruit cultivation.
