As if straight out of a fairytale, this elegant and dramatic medieval castle perched upon a small rocky volcanic island, exudes history and intrigue. The Aragonese Castle is one of the best things to see when visiting Ischia. Steeped in history that dates back to the 5th-century BC, the walls of this ancient building have lived through and seen centuries of different civilisations.

Built on it’s own small tidal island, it lies just east off the island of Ischia, connected by a cobbled stone walkway, sitting at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples, Italy.
