#### One of the few historic structures in town and an iconic symbol of the city, this fortress is now used for events, concerts and exhibitions.

The imposing Aragonese Castle stands as a symbol of the city of Reggio di Calabria and has witnessed many centuries of history. Learn all about its storied past, which included ownership under several regimes. Climb to the top of the castle for excellent views across the water and the port area.

Though it is known as the Aragonese Castle, the fortress is actually thought to predate the arrival of the Aragons in the area. It is believed that the Normans built a tower fortress here in the 11th century to help defend the city from invaders. Visit the fortress today and you’ll find nothing left standing from the original Norman construction. The two circular towers that remain are thought to have been added by the Aragons after they conquered Reggio di Calabria in the 15th century.

Marvel at the grandeur of the fortress’s seemingly impregnable stone walls. The castle was severely damaged by both the 1908 earthquake that ravaged the region and by a later demolition project. The present-day structure is the result of more recent restoration efforts.

Take a guided tour to find out more about the castle’s history. Wander around the castle complex and listen as your guide provides commentary and context as you stroll along. Bring a camera to take photographs from the upper levels of the castle. The elevated vantage point offers spectacular views out to the Strait of Messina and over the city itself.

Ask if any exhibitions or events are taking place at the site during your visit. The castle now serves as a cultural venue, hosting temporary art exhibitions, concerts, plays and other events.

Find the Aragonese Castle in the center of Reggio di Calabria, several blocks inland from the waterfront. Walk here from the waterfront promenade, known as the Lungomare Falcomatà, in less than 15 minutes. There is a fee for entry to the castle.

I tried to reached to them a week before my travel to get some information about the transport options to the hotel nobody responded i was already heading towards the hotel when i received an email in italian with useless information. On the day of arrival at reception they told me most of the facilities are closed including the restaurant none of this was mentioned while i made the bookings. The lady at the reception on 23rd around 13:30 while speaking to me in between exchanged words in her language with her staff member and both laughed and passed weird expressions which is very unprofessional and insulting to do to your guests. We went into the room noticed even the basic things are not in the room for a 4 star hotel. Only 2 water bottles in the fridge no kettle no tea bags no iron, Broken cupboards, Ants in the balcony, broken hair dryer, noisy Bed We asked them for extra towels 3 times finally had to get down and ask for 4 time.The AC was blowing air not cooling the room due to this my 1 year old got unwell and had temperature. I requested to make the AC work nothing changed. We went to speak at the reception and when we mentioned our baby is unwell they laughed at us at this moment we realised its a very unsafe place to stay.extremely rude and unprofessional staff worst hotel experience of my life.I had to leave the hotel and make another booking at a different place.
