Santa Lucia del Mela (12km/7mi south of Milazzo) lies 215m/705ft high, overlooking the valley of the Torrente Floripotena, on the northern slope of Monte Melia in the Monti Peloritani. In Saracen times the old castle was a favored place of Frederick II, who granted it ecclesiastical privileges. Frederic II of Aragon had the castle rebuilt in 1322 and brought in a colony of Lombards. Of the castle a triangular tower and a round watch-tower are still standing.
