Castello di Milazzo
Castello di Milazzo, Medieval fortress in Milazzo, Sicily.
The castle spans across multiple levels of fortifications, extending from the hilltop summit down to the town through ancient stone walls and towers.
Frederick II of Hohenstaufen transformed the existing Norman fortification into a massive castle in 1239, initiating centuries of military architectural developments.
The castle complex includes the Duomo Vecchio cathedral and remains of the Palazzo dei Giurati, reflecting the medieval social structure of Milazzo.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the Salita Castello path through the old town section, with guided tours available on summer Sunday afternoons.
The fortress incorporates structures from seven historical periods, from Neolithic foundations through Greek, Roman, Norman, Swabian, Aragonese, and Spanish constructions.
