Milazzo
Sicily’s coastal city of Milazzo was founded by the Greeks in 716 BC. Milazzo is most known for the fortress built above the city. It is thought it was originally a Greek acropolis, but the main fortification was constructed by the Arabs in the 10th century. Over the centuries, however, the structure has been modified by others occupying the land. Located on the edge of town is an Arabic-Norman castle. It is one of Sicily's best kept secrets and well worth a visit if you're a lover of medieval military architecture. The castle was one of the first Norman buildings erected in Sicily, and like the fortress, experienced modifications over the centuries. In the center of the citadel is the square Norman castle, that some say resembles the Tower of London.
