Angevin-Aragonese Castle

Description

The Angevin-Aragonese castle in Agropoli has a triangular shape with three circular towers and stands on the highest point of the headland. Around the walls there is a wide and deep moat which today is visible just on the side of the village and disappears while on the eastern side because of agricultural works and past landslide.
