Brucoli Castle, Medieval castle in Brucoli, Italy
The stone fortress stands on the eastern coast of Sicily, featuring circular towers at each corner and thick defensive walls overlooking the Gulf of Catania.
The construction of Brucoli Castle began in 1468 during a period of coastal fortification to protect the region from Turkish and Barbarian maritime raids.
The military architecture of Brucoli Castle incorporates elements from Norman, Arab, and Spanish building traditions that shaped Sicilian defensive structures.
The castle grounds remain accessible throughout the year, with parking spaces available along the adjacent street leading to the entrance.
The fortress served as a strategic garrison in the 18th century, coordinating military operations with the neighboring fortress of Augusta.
