Known as "the quastallum" by the Arabs, Castiglione di Sicilia stands on a hill between the Alcantara valley and the Etna park, offering breathtaking landscapes with orchards and lava flows. It has a history dominated by the Arabs and subsequently by the Normans and Swabians. The village is known for its honors and its beauty, recognized with a regional decree in 1994.
The castle of Lauria, which dominates the town, was born as a defensive fortress for the city; well built as it was, on the sandstone rock, and surrounded by powerful defensive walls, it constituted a perfect military defense both inland and throughout the rest of the Alcantara valley.
From the start of your visit to Castiglione di Sicilia, it will not be difficult for you to notice how this village is closely linked to the medieval period, both for the narrow streets that characterize it and for the presence of a castle on top of a hill ' of stronghold.
