Sightseeing
Castello Aragonese is a medieval castle located in Ischia Ponte and is perhaps the most iconic and intriguing of all Ischia's sights. It dates back nearly 2,500 years when the original fortress was built by Hiero I, a tyrant from the Sicilian region of Syracusa. Any trip to Ischia would be incomplete without paying a visit to Ischia Ponte where you can cross the bridge from the main square and visit the incredible citadel inside. As well as the castle grounds there is also a Torture Museum which lays testament to the chequered past of this historic venue and offers some truly gruesome examples of implements that were used to extract confessions from prisoners.
