Aci
Agrandir le plan
Shortened history of the castle :
The origins of Aci seems to belong to the mysterious greek city of Xiphonia, which has today disappeared.
Very little is known about this city before the beginning of the roman empire. The only fact which has never been denied is the one that Aci has participated in Punic wars.
The castle itself was bult by the Byzantines before being renovated by the Normans. It is standing above the sea on a huge promontory.
