Castello di Lombardia

The Lombardy Castle spans 25,000 square meters on a hilltop at 970 meters elevation, featuring twenty defensive towers around its perimeter.

The Sicani built the first fortification in the first millennium BC, followed by Byzantine, Arab, Norman, and Hohenstaufen modifications through centuries.

The site houses the Teatro più vicino alle Stelle theater, which presents opera performances and musical concerts within the ancient stone walls.

Visitors can explore the extensive castle grounds, which include multiple courtyards connected by passages and offer views across central Sicily.

The fortress gained its name from the Langobardia minor garrison stationed there by Frederick II, who transformed it into a summer residence.
