An other route leads up to the castle which starts not far from the La Cattolica. From here it's a nice, steep, moderate, 30-minute hike up to the castle which is now unfortunately neglected, and \owned\ by the goats. If you reach the cross on your route you have to turn right towards the ruins. The view is really nice.

If you are fit enough to climb to the top do so.. the view is magnificent. Make sure you stop for a cooling granita on the down
It's a fairly tough walk of about an hour from near La Cattolica to reach this castle. The castle is impressive and atmospheric, semi-ruined but with enough enclosed spaces still surviving to give an idea of how it would have been in its prime. The setting and view is spectacular and one can imagine how the fortress would have been an important strategic location. It seemed as though some attempt had been made to renovate the site to encourage visitors, but then abandoned. In places the were what looked like relatively new benches, platforms and fencing. but information boards were blank and unfinished, and the gates to the castle were secured by a piece of wire! There are no staff on site. The final stretch of the path was poorly maintained and felt a little dangerous in places. Well worth a visit, the lack of care does at least mean that you will not find the place overcrowded with other visitors.
Breath-taking view
Wonderful views
Lasciando l'auto al cimitero ci vogliono più di 30 minuti, ovviamente dipende dal vostro passo. Però potete salire un ezzo con l'auto, peròa perché è così bello camminare. A me è piaciuto molto, sono salito prima del calare del sole. Gran panorama verso il mare, se c'è una bella giornata..
