Make sure you go all the way to the top for the great views! What does one. We'd to say about castles? They're all cool. And this one was free!
The castle is so imposing, but it is basically empty. The modern sculpture garden is a treat however. Needs better explanatory signage or notes.
We went to visit the castle because we love everything historical. It was great being able to walk through at your own pace,and admire the views inside and out from every stop. The views at the top were simply breath taking,so even if you don't understand all the Italian writing,go for the views up top.
This is certainly not the most evocative medieval castle in Italy but still an interesting reminder of the long and chequered past of the city. Reggio is short of historical buildings due to the earthquakes which makes the castle even more precious. Sadly, the building was truncated after the 1908 quake and only the two Aragonese towers remained of the much larger fortification. Inside the recently restored castle is empty housing only temporary art exhibitions. The terrace on the top is one of the few vantage points in the middle of the city.
a real peace of history lots to see. for free. you can make a donation if you want. there was different levels. with attractions on each level. when you get to the top there is a beautiful view of ocean and reggio.
The castle is best viewed from the outside, because much of it is in ruins and much is not open. They have a nice exhibition of policemen over the years. It is not much of a rainy day activity because so little is open.
