          Its cape, characterized by a two-peaked promontory with a circular castle on the first and a medieval fortification on the second, is located on the promontory.\nThe castle's construction can be dated to a broad period between the 10th century and the end of the 14th century AD. It is not known for certain who built it, but the original structure likely dates back to the Arab period.\n
          \nCurrently, it is accessed via an external staircase flanked by the city walls and consists of the building itself and two towers, one for observation and the other that probably served as a prison.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

              \nThe Greeks believed it to be the home of Vulcan, god of fire and the Cyclopes; ancient sailors knew it well because it served as their lighthouse.

                      Continuing from the Alcantara Gorges on the SS185, you can reach Francavilla di Sicilia, home to a splendid Capuchin Convent dating back to 1570.\n
                      \nCalled the \"Treasure Treasure of the Alcantara Valley,\" the convent has retained its original form, with its \"oven-mouth\" cell windows and sandstone jambs. It houses masterpieces of cabinetmaking, painting, and sculpture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                        \nIt is not so much interesting for its history as for the numerous reminders of a past full of art and glory, still alive today with magnificent echoes in the surviving monuments: the 18th-century Cathedral, the 1576 Church of the Holy Trinity, the 16th-century Church of San Francesco, and above all the 12th-century Norman Castle, which, according to tradition, was built at the behest of the Great Count Roger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
