Description

In 730 BC the Greeks built a fortress on the mass of sandstone where later the Castel Leone - Lion Castle - was built, which gave the city its name. Castiglione was for strategic reasons, one of the most important towns of the Alcantara Valley.

"SunTripSicily" tips: visit the castle and the Alcantara river. Taste the solicchiata wine in one of the winery along the wine street.
