Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, in Sicily, this Norman castle dates back to the 10th-century A.D and was known as Voab, meaning ‘Sea Fortress’, due to its strategic position.
The castle is a good example of Sicilian fortification and contains historical torture contraptions such as the Sicilian Bull, a device designed for the tyrant Phalaris by his sculptor, Perilaus, to roast humans alive. On the second floor of the castle, you can find a large, historic meeting hall and a panoramic balcony from which you can admire the breathtaking Saracen coast with its crystal clear blue waters.
