★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place, you can go back in the past walking inside the castle.
You cant miss the beautiful view of the coast from the terrace. Of course have a Tartufo is a must!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you're in Pizzo or even nearby the story of Murat (the King of Naples) and how he was imprisoned here until his execution is a very sad but enlightening one and well worth a visit. The views from the Castello are also fantastic. It's right next to the town square too which is nice.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This castle was very good to see. In this castle one of Napoleon's henchmen, Joachim Murat, was imprisoned after Napoleon's fall. There is a very interesting puppet exhibition at the castle, puppets portraying a bunch of Murat's associates, servants and soldiers, with Murat himself being the culmination of the exhibition.
The only bad thing about this castle is that the exhibition is so focused on Murat. The castle has so much history to it and having a purely Murat centered exhibition doesn't do the castle any justice.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The castle is quite well preserved and there is an exhibition there of puppets arranged to represent inmates from the time when Murat was imprisoned at the castle.
I found it a little bit disappointing that the castle focused on Murat so much, I think the castle has so much more history to it and all of it shouldn't just be pushed aside to accommodate this Murat guy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for panoramic and portrait photos! Perfectly preserved this fortress.
The Aragonese castle (Murat Fortress) was built on the coastal cliff in the 15th century, but gained fame three centuries later thanks to Joachim Murat. Murat was Napoleon’s marshal and married to his sister Caroline. Disillusioned with the success of the military company, Murat fled from the unwashed imperial Russia from her masters and slaves to the side of the enemy. In October 1815, he was arrested, imprisoned in a fortress in Pizzo and after the trial was shot. Now in the fortress-museum you can see the camera of Murat, the scene of the court, the prisoners and their guards, all the figures are made of wax. From the balcony of the fortress offers a beautiful view of the sea, we were there at sunset.
