Castle with powerful encircling walls, fortifications and Greek remains
This enclosure was built by the Spanish after the destruction of the city by the corsair of Algiers, Khayr ad-Din, better known as Barbarossa in 1544. The mighty walls encircle 13th-century fortifications and Greek remains, including a 4th-century BC tower. Inside are five churches, including the Norman cathedral (the 12th-century cloister and frescoes remain), rebuilt in 1654. Dedicated to St Bartholomew, patron saint of the Aeolian Islands, it has a 19th-century façade and a Baroque interior.

Balade agréable, tout comme dans le centre historique de Lipari, mais rien d'exceptionnel au sommet de cette citadelle, juste un petit musée désert.
