Wonderful place to see. Beautiful view on the coast. The guided tour was really interesting, and the guide so passionate about the recent discoveries! Perched on the cliff top, it is set in a beautiful location towering above the bay surrounded by the ancient town of Castro which is perched around it. The view from the battlements is spectacular in every direction. The museum is small but fascinating roaming its way back through the sites incredible and ancient history. Occupied since stone age times it has artefacts which date back thousands and thousands of years, unearthed from the site. The sight is supported by archeological evidence taken from the Greek, Roman, Norman, Ottoman and Aragonese periods! The young man working there was incredibly helpful and very keen to tell you the of this magnificent landmark! We got our tickets as a combo after visiting the Grottas of Zinzulusa, this small museum is very well made and presented, a must visit to your trip to Castro. They let you access the towers mezzanine, it was celebration day so we actually got to see the fireworks! And the welcome guide was wonderful, she took her time to explain the city and castle along with the artifacts. Fascinating that goes all the way 10 century BC, through helenistic times and middle age. Tour was great (ask for EN otherwise its IT) Excellent exhibition, we were amazed how detailed is it. It's a must see. Nicely restored castle with museum explaining the almost 2500 years of in the region. The grounds and museums are really good, and in the ticket is included a guided visit, around one hour long (you can't really visit the museum at your own pace). Great view of surroundings and information in the of the area .
