A highlight just off the coast of Ischia is the Castello Aragonese with its picturesque garden. The medieval mountain fortress was built on a small rocky island of trachyte stone.

The Castello is privately owned but can be visited and is now a hotel where art exhibitions and musical performances are held. The view from the fortification is worthwhile.
