Tips
The Castle of Gerace, dating back to the 7th century AD, was devastated by the Byzantines in the 10th century. Rebuilt and fortified by the Normans in 1050, it suffered damage from earthquakes over the centuries. What remains is a tower, some walls, and traces of ancient structures such as a Byzantine oratory, drawbridge and armory.
