Aragonese Castle

Overview

Today, home to exhibitions and temporary exhibitions, the fortress was built in 1027 and rebuilt by the Aragonese in the 15th century, of which only two cylindrical towers and a short stretch of wall remain. But the castle remains one of the symbols of the history of Reggio Calabria, of the resistance to Turkish attacks in the 16th-17th centuries and of the clash between Garibaldi and Bourbon in 1860.
