Castro: le mura

Castro: il Porto

Of millennial origin testified by its coastal caves and dolmen and menhir that time ago marked the surrounding country.

To visit:

The Romanesque cathedral, the medieval citadel with its mighty castle dating from 1500.
The caves: Zinzulusa, Romanelli, are the most famous; others only known by the local fishermen who accompany tourists to visit them with little boats and are: Palummara, Ritunneddhra, Ritunna and others.

Zinzulusa

The Zinzulusa is the most interesting cave of Puglia: It is a collection of environments and areas of rare beauty, which meet along an amazing corridor of stalactites and stalagmites in dialect "zinzuli" from which originates the name. In the waters of the cave rare samples of extraneous prehistoric fauna are found , rare to the Italian hypogeal fauna (here can be found about 60 kinds of biological elements).
Romanelli cave: inside tempered human and faunal remains have been found ,utensils and graffiti that date back to more than 35 thousand years ago. Between the Romanelli cave and the Zinzulusa there is an underwater stream with signs that guide the scuba diver to the discovery of. marvellous backdrops and fish. The "blue path".

Castro Harbor is a place of enchanting panoramas along cliff precipices that seem to plunge in the sea , where we find: houses, hotels, villas, restaurants. Don't miss the suggestive festival of the fish that is held on April 18-19th in occasion of the feast of the patron of the country: the Holy Mother with a boat procession to sea.
