Climbing Mount Santa Caterina and its castle is an experience that offers spectacular views. The path winds through a wild and rocky landscape, culminating in a breathtaking view of the coast and the sea. At sunset, the golden light envelops the island and the castle, creating an atmosphere of pure magic.

The castle, an ancient fortification, still retains its charm despite the time and abandonment that threaten its structure.

Unfortunately, the infrastructures set up for the filming of the movie Odyssey prevent people from reaching the “castle”, I hope they remove them soon.

The climb to Monte Santa Caterina and its castle on Favignana promises breathtaking views, especially after the 300 meters of elevation gain. The trail leads you through a wild, rocky landscape, with the highlight undoubtedly being the panoramic view of the coast and the sea below. Sunset is often raved about – a moment of tranquility as the light gently sweeps over the island and the historic castle.

The castle itself, an ancient fortification, is in a dilapidated state and in danger of collapsing, but it still attracts hikers who want to enjoy its mystical atmosphere. Special care should be taken when entering, as the structure is dilapidated. An additional feature: bicycles can be rented at the base of the mountain. While this doesn't make the journey to the top any easier, it does provide a welcome mobility option for the rest of the island.

It is this blend of historical significance and rugged, untouched nature that makes Monte Santa Caterina so appealing.
