Angioino Aragonese Castle

The castle stands on a coastal hill with stone walls, towers, and defensive structures overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and Mediterranean waters.

Built in the 6th century and modified during the 15th century Aragonese period, this fortress protected Agropoli from sea pirates and foreign armies.

The castle museum displays medieval artifacts, hosts art exhibitions throughout the year, and serves as a venue for local cultural festivals.

The castle opens daily with guided tours in multiple languages, offering parking facilities and a museum shop selling regional products.

French writer Marguerite Yourcenar set her story 'Anna, soror' within these castle walls, drawing inspiration from its medieval architecture.
