Sperlinga, The Castle Carved Into The Rock

By: Antonello Zitelli

It is one of the most typical and fascinating castles in Sicily. An invincible fortress that still retains its characteristics intact. It was built by digging into the sandstone rock and partly built above it. The Sperlinga castle is unique in its kind, also because of its large dimensions. Inside the castle there are spaces once used as stables, prisons, forges, granaries, cisterns, as well as boardrooms.

Of remarkable beauty is the steep staircase built in the rock that leads you to the lookout tower. Considered a popular destination for thousands of visitors, this remarkable place allows those who visit a pleasant journey back in time.
