Best seen with a guide who can explain how the fort was used by the 4th Century BC Greeks to defend Ortigia. The tunnels used to confuse trap and kill their attackers are quite remarkable.

I don't know any other place in Sicilly that would be that silent and peaceful as Castello Eurialo at opening hours. Though navigating there is not an easy task, the place is worth the effort. I can't describe the experience of sightseeing with only guides available that time - hundreds of sunbathing lizards...

CALL BEFORE YOU GO. They tend to close with no previous notice on their website. A pity.

Unfortunately, the castle is abandoned with no one taking care of it. A lot of bushes and grass grow everywhere and it is very difficult to visit. It is a pity and a shame since the place is a very interesting historical place and the galleries are beautiful. Moreover also some eu project involves this site, but the signs are switched off and abandoned. Such a shame...
