Milazzo, Coastal city with Norman castle in Sicily, Italy.
The city extends along the northeastern coast of Sicily with a 5-kilometer peninsula reaching into the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating natural harbors.
Founded as Mylae in 648 BC, the city witnessed the first Roman naval victory against Carthage in 260 BC during the First Punic War.
The Castle of Milazzo contains structures from different periods, including Arab foundations, Norman modifications, and Spanish Renaissance architecture through its multiple levels.
The port serves as the primary departure point for ferries to the Aeolian Islands, with regular connections to Lipari, Vulcano, and Stromboli.
The rock church of Sant'Antonio di Padua sits carved into the cliffs of Cape Milazzo, marking the location where the saint survived a shipwreck in 1221.
