    Tips

    November 5, 2022

    castle has the pentagonal shape, typical of sixteenth-century fortresses, but it seems to have incorporated a pre-existing cylindrical tower, of Roman shape, which gives a singular relief to the entrance and to the facade itself. Incorporated are also the undergrounds, which include among other things the ancient Basilian church of San Nicola della Pinna, which has become the church of the fortress. It was called this way because it was on the tip (fin) of the peninsula that juts out into the sea, together with the convent founded, in the 10th century, by a Monopolitano in mystical crisis after the death of his wife. An interesting church, with a single nave, with an apse and a central dome.
