The Castle of Santa Severina is an imposing structure 10,000 square meters wide, which contains about a thousand years of history. Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese together with several important families, among all the dynasty of Andrea Carafa, had a fundamental role in the construction and in the different building stratification that characterizes the Castle. significant changes are due to the Sculco and, above all, to the Grutther who, having lost the need for defense, transformed the keep of the fortress into a noble residence by furnishing it with the precious decorations of Francesco Jordano.

We visited the castle in the late afternoon which is a great time to go because you get the cool breeze and the sunset. €4 per adult seemed like good value for money. Signs in multiple languages. We wandered around for about an hour enjoying the views and learning about the history.

This small church is located just 5 minutes from the archaeological museum of Capo Colonna where you can find all the information that you need. Indeed, the church hosts every May a religious festival dedicated to Madonna, which is really interesting for getting more into the culture of South Italy. Nevertheless, the church is cute and you can even find a cool spot next to it for taking picture of the sea.
