Castello di Lipari, Medieval fortress on volcanic rock in Lipari, Italy
The castle stands on steep cliffs rising 50 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, with protective walls separating Marina Lunga from Marina Corta.
Archaeological findings reveal continuous settlement from 4000 BC, including Neolithic dwellings, Greek colonization in 580 BC, and Roman architectural elements.
The Regional Archaeological Museum inside the castle contains artifacts from different periods, documenting the evolution of Mediterranean civilizations through millennia.
Visitors can explore multiple archaeological layers, religious buildings, and fortification systems through designated pathways within the castle complex.
The castle grounds preserve four distinct Bronze Age villages built on top of each other, representing the largest such discovery in Mediterranean prehistory.
