Bellissimo ci sono molti reperti trovati nella zona di Adrano Unexpectedly awesome place, one of the best visited in Sicily so far Helpful staff, despite being very quiet. Lots of vernacular roman pottery, and a great view. Great experience and wonderful artifacts. Our guide was very friendly and helpful explaining the different levels of the castle and items on display. And the views once you get up top are beautiful. The tower erected by Count Roger I of Sicily, in the eleventh century, is part of a defensive system of the Norman age aimed at controlling the Simeto valley. In the following centuries it was the residence of important Sicilian families and in the seventeenth century it was also used as a prison. Came through during closed time in afternoon but think town eould be worth a visit when open 4eur entrance fee. Small exhibition but great view of the town Assomiglia il castello di Scaletta Superiore. Molto bello da visitare se ci si trova in zona. Interesting castle. Nice views of Etna and village from top terrace. Zamek i muzeum jednocześnie. Bilet 6 euro. Na samej górze przepiękny widok na Etnę i na okolice. Miejsce warte odwiedzenia. Monumento molto ben tenuto e molto interessante sia per la sua architettura che per le collezioni conservate, in particolare quellaarcheologica. Non ultimo, bello anche il panorama dalla terrazza. Impiegati super gentili e disponibili, pronti a dare spiegazioni aggiuntive. I popped into Adrano's Norman Castle not really knowing what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. At €5 this is an absolute steal! Visiting outside of main tourist season I had the castle to myself and one of the staff even accompanied me, took photos of me and Etna, and provided additional context. I enjoyed the impromptu tour and the sheer amount of history presented. You can't go on top. There are no english descriptions of the exhibits. But there are markings for blind people if they want to go to the museum and LOOK at the exhibits or take a LOOK at the city (facepalm). A ticket costs 2€ for people up to age 25 and 4€ for people above age 25. Absolutely wonderful place to visit. Incredible archaeological displays going back over 8,000 years, the castle itself is fascinating and the views from the top are stunning.
