Large castle ruins - all rooms easily accessible, stone ceilings so it's safe. From the highest floors great views. Abandoned building, very interesting. there are no signs marking the path but it's an easy jaunt from town walking in line of sight the whole way starting off as a drivable road but quickly turning to switchbacks on a stone pathway that's partially stairs And gradually steeper to the 300 m summit some 80 floors above sea level. There are no facilities nor receptacles so prepare to pack out upon return leaving no footprint Place run down but amazing view Loved this place. We went up with sandwiches and beers and we enjoyed one of the most spectacular sunsets of our lives! Definitely worth the "hike". Takes about 50mins from the bottom but the view is amazing on both sides of the isle. One star less because it's too bad that the castle is not used somehow! This could be a great rest stop with some refreshments for people who come to see the sunset! The climb is worth it but would suggest to do it in the evening in time to see the sunset as temperatures could be extremely high and the climb is quite steep. The castle is beautiful and you can see a room with Second World War radios which is untouched since, so very surreal. There is an abandoned palace too next too it which is a bit spooky but again totally worth paying a visit. The views are also incredible and you can see 360 of the island. Elena & Maciej If you want the best views of Favignana go there, amazing and spooky location. At sunset is just magical and - when we visited - not crowded at all. There is a very steep climb but easily done in 25 mins. Best view on the island Despite the place is abandoned, the view of the whole island is amazing. It takes a good half an hour walking to reach the top. Se volete vedere un tramonto davvero bello... Se non salite qui, è colpa vostra. Interessante vecchia fortezza, con resti di vecchie apparecchiature radio. Da scoprire. Absolutely amazing! Nice hike up and the views are breathtaking... ww2 history inside to explore:-) Amazing walk . Just be prepared unless you do it in winter they it's really hot and really steep to go up and could be quite physically demanding to reach castle. So prepare water and food supplies for this walk. But totally worth it. Den fantastiske 360 ° utsikten fra toppen var vel verdt turen opp. Bratt 350 meter stigning ga god mosjon i solen! Nice hike. Bit foggy at the top but great views on the way down. Avoid if you’re scared of snakes though, we saw 2 small black ones on the trail 😬 Vallan plr la callecita oficial jeje Hermoso lugar e historia It’s a long way to the top but absolutely worth it! Stunning view. Take water with you. Da visitare al tramonto Atmosfera magica ma vale la fatica della salita Castello molto bello, con una vista mozzafiato. Peccato per la decadenza e lo stato di abbandono dell'edificio.
