Extensive castle complex, used since antiquity and constantly expanded. The current structure of a fortress city dates from the 16th century. Located above Milazzo with fantastic views over the sea on both sides of the peninsula and, in good weather, as far as the Aeolian Islands.

With a guide, you can interpret the possible roles of each rock in the ancestors' rites of passage. Spectacular views, including of Mount Etna, not only from the highest rock with its "pool," but also from walking through the fields of ferns (they were a beautiful green in August 2025).

Argimusco is a plateau located in Sicily, just north of Etna, approximately on the border between the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountains, and is administratively divided between the municipalities of Montalbano Elicona, Tripi (which stands on the site of ancient Abacaenum) and Roccella Valdemone. The plateau is very panoramic as you can admire Etna, the Aeolian Islands, the curious mountains Rocca Salvatesta and Montagna di Vernà, Capo Tindari, Capo Calavà and Capo Milazzo up close. It is part of the Bosco di Malabotta nature reserve.
