The Gresti Castle, also known as Pietratagliata Castle, is located in the Aidone area. Its current state is that of a ruin, although its appearance is clearly visible, consisting primarily of a massive solid tower and a series of cave rooms. Its origins are unclear; the first documented historical records date back to the 14th century. The castle ruins are still privately owned. <\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Based on archaeological finds, such as some Litre and Dilitron of King Hiero II in the Castle area, it is possible that some structures were erected and used as watchtowers for the nearby city as early as the time of Morgantina. Traces of a road leading from the city to the vicinity of the Arab-Norman castle have been found. <\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
