Take a tour of Ischia Aragonese Castle in Ischia, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

A charming castle sits on the territory of the volcanic island of Ischia, Italy.

Ischia (Ees-ee-ah) Aragonese (Air-ah-gahn-ee-ss) Castle makes for an ethereal sight as it is perched upon volcanic rock surrounded by the vast Tyrrhenian Sea.

In 474 BC, the castle was constructed by the Greek noble Hiero the 1st of Syracuse.

During its long history, this locale has come under the possession of various nations, including the Romans, French, English, and Bourbons.

As a result, the castle has been used as a fortification, residence, prison, and is currently uninhabited private property.

A sunny day is the perfect occasion to explore this isolated and quiet destination.
