This compact Sicilian village holds an extraordinary number of churches — over 80 — for a settlement of its size, alongside houses dating to the 13th century and a tower built by Frederick II of Aragon in 1324, the last remnant of the royal fortress whose name the village carries. Set in mountain country with scenic views toward the coast, Castroreale is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia and sits a short drive from Messina.
