The Aragonese Castle of Ischia stands on an islet and is connected by a brick bridge to the ancient Borgo di Celsa, now known as Ischia Ponte.
Thanks to Alfonso V of Aragon, access to the castle is possible through a tunnel dug into the rock.
Before that it could only be accessed by sea.
The tunnel, 400 meters long, is illuminated by high skylights which at the time also served as "plumbers" from which boiling oil, stones and other materials were thrown on any enemies.
In this castle, in 1952, some scenes of the film "The Green Island Corsair" were shot with Burt Lancaster.
