A total waste of time and money ...

At first glance, you see a huge fort/castle and think to yourself "there must be a lot to explore and see inside". In reality, you can literally see all of the few tiny spaces they have open and watch a movie about it in 15...More

Nothing to see

There is really nothing to see. You can't go almost anywhere and the price. There is no garden. We were very upset after our visit

Nice but not impressive

The origin of the castle was byzantine. It was fortified in time of the norman kingdom and the further expansion was carried out by the Staufian kings. Recently the castle was renovated. The inside is less spectacular. Due to the various uses of the castle...More

hoped for more

We visited te castle hoping to be able to see the city from the towers or walls but all areas that can be visited are downstairs. So overall not bad but not what I expected from it. What was nice was an exposition of paintings.

Outside is better.

Norman castle built by Roger II in 1132. 20 years later it was destroyed, and it was rebuilt by Friedrich II Hohenstaufen in 1233. The castle passed from hand to hand over the following centuries and lost its military importance gradually until it was turned...More

Visit the outside

My landlady said "just visit the outside, inside is boring and not worth paying." So I listened. It is very picturesque and I was there several times a different times of the day to see how light changed it. I like it.

Not to be missed!

Even if one doesn't know the history of this gorgeous fortification it speaks for itself in terms of importance. A photographer's delight!
