Venus Castle

Local name: Castello di Venere

The 12th-century fortress is a wonderfully preserved example of a defensive building in the Norman-Oriental style. It was established on the site of a much older temple of Venus. During the Bourbon rule, the castle served as a prison. It is now a museum and a place for local exhibitions.
