Located 9 km from Catania, this Norman castle is perfect for a quick visit. Achi Castle is locate by the sea and was built around 1200. There is a very nice little park next to it, so you can enjoy it sitting on a bench. On weekends it is more difficult to park as there are not many places to park.

As a museum is a bit small, but the views from within the castle and on top of the towers is just unbelievably beautiful. It is possible to see the whole coast, including Acitrezza. Highly recommended stop.

A bit of a gem. There is a small entrance fee but it is well worth the money. Views are spectacular and there are a lot of plants and historical artefacts to enjoy. Highly recommended

Beautiful, well preserved small castle/fort build on a volcanic rock. It's a great example of how people have used existing materials to construct solid and long lasting constructions. Loved to see the water getaways and the chambers. If you have an hour to spare, that's a lovely stop that will enrich your experience and connect you to history. You can also have an espresso or an aperativo at cafe on the piazza just in front of it - you'll enjoy an excellent sea view :).

The poor old lady collecting money for the entry ticket is located at the top of a windy the staircase towards the foot of the castle yet many guests don't realize that they must pay cash and that she is unable to make change, disappointed after making this large assent. Therefore she should be able to accept credit cards on a mobile device which has become standard for the last 20 years of the century, and also proof that the money won't be pocketed but reported to the government. also a bit pricey at €3.50 for this 10 minute attraction, yet unique juxtaposition for this area

Bit of a dead town, but nice landmark. Great views of the Sea Side

Amazing Castle with great views. Historical artifacts are also displayed and good info about the history is given. Worth the admission price.

Was really nice during sunset. There is space for improvement, but overall, it is a nice experience in an atmospheric fort. Nice views.

Worth visiting, especially with a guide and if you're Italian speaking as you'll appreciate the show better. You can enjoy beautiful views too

Beautiful place, unfortunately close to go inside today. But from outside it's looks awesome with beautiful views to Sea 😍

The Castle has a very nice view of the sea and the city. Tickets - being already inexpensive, can be bought for even less for students and elderly visitors. There is a small museum inside featuring a mockup of the castle along with different types of rare and local rocks. I would definitely recommend visiting the place if you're in the area!

Beautiful to look at and a great view from the top but not that informative or "special." But for the price of 2.5€ for students you can not complain.

Amazing, medieval castle. Very athmospheric place with great view. Absolutly wonderful, friendly and joyfull man who works there. Greeting from Poland

Great historical place steeped in events and dramatic incidents. You have to pay to walk round (3,50Euro for an adult) but for the price its a great couple of hours. Spectacular views from the top in all directions - over Aci Castello, out to sea and long the Cyclops coast towards Aci Trezza

A pleasant walk inside for just 2 euro per ticket. A place that retains the charm of its history, eith a fantastic view and large terraces. The gentleman at the entrance was very friendly.

Aci Castello is one of the numerous historical landmarks of Sicily, and while I feel that any historical place should get 5 star rating as it reflects what has already passed and thus can't be changed, decorate or improved, I still assigned 4 starts only. The reason is that the Castle of Aci is relatively small and is not impressive in terms of beauty or grandeur. Its majesty lies in centuries long history, however what your eyes see is mid-size castle with small museum inside. Although what is stunning here is the ocean view on one side and the village on the cliff on the other side, so you won't leave the place without nice shots for sure.
