Milazzo - Upper Town

The upper town of Milazzo is directly to the north of the lower town. Towering over it is the massive castle, built by Frederick II and extended by the Spanish during the 15th and 16th centuries (inside a Great Hall). The neglected Old Cathedral, which the Florentine Camillo Camilliani designed at the end of the 16th century also stands here. In the Church of San Papino (1629) there is a crucifix by Fra Umile da Petralia.
