Castle of Pantelleria, Medieval castle in Pantelleria, Italy.
The Castle of Pantelleria stands at the entrance of the old harbor, featuring a rectangular tower and defensive walls constructed with volcanic stone.
The fortress dates back to 540 CE when Byzantine builders established the initial structure, later modified by Normans who added the Donjon tower in 1127.
The castle houses the Regional Archaeological Museum, displaying Roman statues including the notable Heads of Pantelleria discovered during island excavations.
Visitors can access the castle through Lungomare Paolo Borsellino street, with the museum section open for exploration throughout designated hours.
The structure served multiple functions through centuries, transforming from a military fortification to a prison until 1975 before becoming a cultural institution.
