Building dating back to the sixteenth century, wanted by the emperor Charles V, built on a relief that takes the name of Punta Pinna. In the 17th century it was transformed and used as a noble residence. Over the years, the castle has been associated with legends of phenomena related to the paranormal. Today it represents a suggestive attractive venue for exhibitions and events.

The Castle of Charles V, with a polygonal plan, was built in 1552, incorporating a previous Norman tower. Its current appearance dates back to 1660.
It stands on the sea, overlooking the port, among the ancient Aragonese fortifications.
The main entrance is on the south-west side in correspondence with a cylindrical tower subsequent to the original structure.
To check the opening days and times, consult their website.
