The Aragonese Castle is the symbol of Ischia. It stands on a small islet to the east of the island and is connected by a 220-meter-long stone bridge to the ancient village of Ischia Ponte.

To enter, you'll traverse through a tunnel carved into the rock and illuminated by skylights, which leads to a mule track that climbs to the top of the islet.

From this point, various paths and streets lead to the different buildings and gardens that are part of the castle. During your visit, key attractions include the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the convent and cemetery of the Clarisse nuns, the Cathedral of the Assumption with its crypt, the Church of St. Peter at Pantaniello, the Church of St. Mary of the Graces, the political prisons, the panoramic terrace of olive trees, the gardens, and the vineyard. Each offers a different perspective on this fascinating site.
