Piazza Agostino Pennisi, Acireale, Catania, Italy

Magnificent castle dating back to 1800 with private park

Built at the end of the 19th century, the castle of the noble Pennisi family of Floristella located in Acireale is a fine example of eclecticism, characteristic of the architecture of the time, the neo-Gothic style. Its main entrance, from Piazza Pennisi, opens onto a boulevard surrounded by a double row of Washingtonian palms that reveals its striking grandeur. At the end of the avenue the sculptural marble bust of Baron Pennisi (the one who built the castle), stands on a column surrounded by palm trees.

The peculiar facade rotated about 55 ° clockwise, capturing the attention for its beauty and its relevant architectural features. The elegant drapery of Guelph battlements on the top and the ogival arches typical of Gothic art give it a fairytale image. The castle consists of three joint buildings on two levels, with two rectangular towers in a symmetrical position
