More important historical building in front of the Eolian Islands that for centuries was strategical for different dominations that left signal of their culture in the castle's park and in the old village
Originally the site of a Greek acropolis, then an Arab-Norman citadel, Milazzo's enormous castle was built by Frederick II in 1239, expanded by Charles V of Aragon and stormed by Garibaldi's troops in 1860. The whole of Milazzo once fitted within its massive walls. Nowadays it's a lovely site to clamber around, full of flowers and crumbling fortifications, with dreamy views of the bay and the Aeolians from atop the Torre Normanna, the castle's oldest and highest part. Late in the evening the area offers live music, restaurants and pubs. Must to go!
