To reward the loyalty it showed to him during the fight against the Angevins, <strong>Frederick II of Aragon<\/strong> issued the <strong>diploma of 1324<\/strong> ordering the construction of the <strong>Castle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is when the town&#8217;s history really begins. It first took the name <em>Castro<\/em>, then <em>Castroreale<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Until the end of the fifteenth century there was a large and active Jewish community, the synagogue (or moschita) of which was enlarged in 1487. Its <strong>arch<\/strong> still remains today, and can be seen behind <strong>Monte di Piet\u00e0.<\/strong> After the earthquake of 1693, numerous settlements in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/barocco-in-sicilia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">late Baroque<\/a> style arose in Castroreale.<\/p>\n<p>The visit to the historic centre starts from <strong>Piazza delle Aquile<\/strong>. The main fa\u00e7ade of the <strong>Mother Church<\/strong> dating back to the first thirty years of the 1600s is closed on the right by the sixteenth-century <strong>bell tower<\/strong>. Inside, there are several works by <strong>Antonello Gagini<\/strong>, <strong>Francesco Cardillo<\/strong>, <strong>Andrea Calamech<\/strong>, <strong>Filippo Jannelli<\/strong> and <strong>Rinaldo Bonanno<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The church hides an interesting secret: crossing the entrance you can see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/le-meridiane-di-sicilia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meridian line<\/a> that runs across the floor to the middle of the central nave, indicating the South-North direction of the terrestrial meridian of the place. It has been preserved intact &#8211; but incomplete &#8211; up to the present day, despite disastrous earthquakes and human intervention. It was conceived and built in 1854 by Castroreale local <strong>Nicol\u00f2 Perroni Basquez<\/strong>. It is a so-called <strong>camera obscura<\/strong> meridian. The Mother Church contains silverware by the masters of the 1600s from Messina.<\/p>\n<p>From the piazza side of the church, featuring a <strong>seventeenth century marble portal<\/strong> surmounted by three eagles, there is an <strong>enchanting view<\/strong> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/localita\/eolie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aeolian<\/a> islands and the <strong>Longano valley<\/strong>. The numerous ashlar portals from the 1500s and 1600s and the wrought iron gratings provide evidence of the street&#8217;s historic splendour, from when it was an important main road for the city.<\/p>\n<p>The historic <strong>Via Moschita<\/strong>, which was once full of convents and churches, is today guardian of the small and precious heritage left. Located in <strong>Piazza Pertini<\/strong> is <strong>Palazzo Peculio<\/strong>, seat of the Town Hall, and the seventeenth-century <strong>Monte di Piet\u00e0<\/strong>; the side of the <strong>S.S. Salvatore<\/strong> and its <strong>bell tower<\/strong> from 1560. In the background towards the mountain is the arch of the Jewish synagogue. Continuing on, we come to the <strong>Pinacoteca in the Church of S. Maria degli Angeli<\/strong>, with works from the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the <strong>arches<\/strong> of the historic <strong>convents of San Nicol\u00f2 and the Benedictine female monastery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Civic Museum<\/strong> has several highly prestigious works, including: a <em>Salvator Mundi<\/em> by <strong>Polidoro Caldara da Caravaggio<\/strong> (a pupil of Raphael who worked in Messina from 1528-1543), a painted cross from the fourteenth century, a wooden crucifix from the fifteenth century, the <em>funeral monument of Geronimo Rosso<\/em> by <strong>Antonello Gagini<\/strong>, the <em>Altarpiece of the Madonna among the Saints<\/em> by <strong>Gaspare Camarda<\/strong> and three paintings by <strong>Filippo Jannelli<\/strong>. Other great works to admire include the <em>Polyptych of the Triad<\/em> from the end of the fifteenth century and the table canvas of the <em>Enthroned Madonna with Child and Angels<\/em> by <strong>Antonello de Saliba.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It it worth taking the time to discover the <strong>Church of S. Filippo Neri<\/strong> from 1600 and the attached <strong>Oratory<\/strong>, <strong>location of the Civic Museum<\/strong>. The architectural complex of <strong>S. Agata and S. Marina<\/strong> is interesting. The latter features Norman elements and Aragon fortification mixed with a sixteenth-century structure. Inside the church of <strong>S.Agata<\/strong> there is the famous statue of <em>Cristo Lungo<\/em>, which is carried in procession on <strong>23 and 25 August<\/strong> and during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/la-settimana-santa-in-sicilia-i-riti-da-non-perdere\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holy Week<\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is also the <strong>Porta Raineri<\/strong>, which was rebuilt in the early nineteenth century, and once allowed access to the city walls from the north, the <strong>Church of Candelora<\/strong> (1400) with an unusual Arab dome and the <strong>Frederick II of Aragon Tower<\/strong>, the only surviving trace of the castle he had built in 1324.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting Castroreale also means immersing yourself in its gastronomic traditions!<\/p>\n<p>In addition to authentic dishes from Sicilian tradition, <strong>Castroreale is famous first and foremost for its biscuits<\/strong>. In particular <em>u biscottu castricianu<\/em> or <em>u biscottu da badissa<\/em>, the recipe for which was invented by the Poor Clare nuns of the <strong>Monastery of S. Maria degli Angeli in Castroreale<\/strong> and was kept secret for a long time. Some biscuit makers now make these delicious treats after discovering what the ingredients are: aniseed, cinnamon, lard, sugar, cloves, vanilla, brewer&#8217;s yeast, homemade sourdough, flour, water and salt. Preservatives are forbidden! There is no better occasion to try them than the festival [link to Holidays and food festivals in Sicily] dedicated to them in the second half of August.<\/p>\n<p>You should also try the homemade <strong>maccheroni<\/strong> and <strong>black rice<\/strong> during the <strong>Christmas period<\/strong>, made with sugar and toasted and crushed almonds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":53661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1918,1932,1919],"tags":[],"luogo":[],"stagione":[1874,1877,1875,1876],"class_list":["post-62564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arte-e-cultura-en","category-luoghi-della-cultura-en","category-borghi-en","stagione-autumn","stagione-spring","stagione-summer","stagione-winter"],"acf":{"galleria":false,"paragrafo_1":"<p>Castroreale, the &#8220;very faithful&#8221; town of Frederick II of Aragon, perched on the north-western <strong>Peloritani mountains<\/strong>, is beautiful and fascinating with a long history, many churches and works of art, and an incredible panorama<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to an ancient legend, the village of Castroreale in the province of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/localita\/messina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Messina<\/a> dates back to several centuries before the birth of Christ, when an Eastern king named Artenomo, founded a city, which he called <em>Artemisia <\/em>in honour of his daughter.
