Lonely Planet review for Castel Sant'Elmo

Commanding spectacular views across the city, this star-shaped castle was built by the Spanish in 1538. Impressive though it is, the austere castle has seen little real military action. It has, however, seen plenty of prisoners: a long-time jail, its dungeons were used as a military prison until the 1970s. The admission times and price can change when the castle is being used for exhibitions.
