Castro

The beautiful Castro overlooking the Adriatic Sea and looks eastward.
the town divided into two distinct parts: one is Castro Marina, where there is also the port near which you can see archaeological ruins which act as shops for the fishermen; other Castro Superiore, a village of ancient origin in a panoramic sea along a vast hilly area. It is said that to create the town were even Cretans, only to be called Castrum Minervae by the Romans, becoming an important center during the Middle Ages enough to be a bishopric from 1179 to 1537, in spite of the current small size. The sixteenth-century fortifications are still visible.
