Durante il periodo della colonizzazione greca prima, e della dominazione romana poi, sicuramente la rocca sulla quale si erge il castello normanno fu frequentata per la sua posizione strategica, che permetteva il controllo del mare e del passaggio delle navi dirette verso lo stretto di Messina. Sebbene non si siano conservati resti di strutture di tale periodo, a causa probabilmente della distruzione delle fortezze costiere operata dagli Arabi La costruzione del castello di cui ancora oggi si possono visitare le strutture superstiti ed ammirare gli splendidi archi a sesto acuto si deve porre tra il 1071 e il 1081, nell'ambito della conquista dell'isola da parte dei normanni Roberto il Guiscardo e Ruggero d'Altavilla. Dai documenti rinvenuti nella Geniza del Cairo (Goitein, 1977) risulta che le azioni di pirateria sulle coste della Sicilia, con provenienza dall'Egitto, non subirono mai un arresto completo dopo la conquista di Ruggero il Normanno (1061-1091). Le incursioni arabe, provenienti dai paesi rivieraschi dell'Africa Settentrionale, continuano nei secoli seguenti, si intensificano nel '500 e '600 e cesseranno solo poco prima del 1830, quando con la presa di Algeri da parte della Francia, la pirateria nordafricana venne definitivamente fermata.. Nel l169 una disastrosa eruzione investì il paese di Aci e raggiunse perfino la rupe che fino ad allora emergeva dal mare, isolata dalla terraferma; la colata colmò il braccio di mare antistante la rupe, rendendo inutile il ponte levatoio che serviva a congiungere il castello al paese.

Of great visual impact and in my opinion worthy of much greater consensus.
The composition is excellent and the pdr understands and visually best describes the beautiful place.
The ground level shot (one of my favorites!), immerses in the scene and obviously gives depth while the stones help to give the proportion.
The horizon is closed by the rocky spur with the remains of the castle, which stands out well against the soft clouds in the sky, soft colors, pastel.
Finally, icing on the cake, the splashes of the waves between the rocks, which give dynamism and movement to the scene.
Finally, complete and exhaustive caption, of great interest to know the history of this small piece of our country.
My most sincere congratulations and a warm greeting .
Leonardo
