Castello Normanno, Norman castle in Adrano, Italy
The rectangular stone tower reaches 34 meters in height with two ground floor chambers divided by a longitudinal wall into three bays each.
Roger I of Sicily ordered the construction of this fortress after 1073, likely building upon the remains of a previous Saracen tower.
The archaeological museum inside displays artifacts from Neolithic times through medieval periods, including significant collections from the ancient Mendolito settlement.
Located at Piazza Umberto 1 in Adrano, the castle houses the Regional Archaeological Museum Saro Franco, an art gallery, and historical archives.
Two stone lions carved from volcanic rock stand at the museum entrance, bearing the coat of arms of the Sclafani-Moncada noble family.
