Of ancient origin, Milazzo, was founded by the people "Zancle" in 716 BC under the name of Mylai. It consists of two parts: one sits on a headland, the other runs along the seashore. Friendly tourist city and city of art with ancient Sicilian origins.

The proximity to the Aeolian Islands and the intense activity of the port, have allowed economic development characterized by environment-related production activities such as agritourism and florivivaismo.
Milazzo is rich in works of art of great artistic value, but the castle is certainly the most important monument of the city with its 12,000 sq m extension. The first fortifications of the castle date from the Neolithic period and were expanded with the arrival of the first Greek settlers in the 8th - 7th century BC but it was the Arabs who, after the 843, made so that the first nucleus of the castle came to life.
A must-visit is the mastio, in its developmental stages and must admire the splendid panorama from the stands which collect all the beauty of the Aeolian islands and the two seas of the Tyrrhenian coast.

To visit is also the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary (1538) restored and enriched with various frescoes and paintings by Dominic Jordan and the Palace of the Viceroy (sixteenth century) which was the residence of Governors and Viceroy of Sicily when they resided in Milazzo.

For those who enjoy walking, an interesting climbing trip to Mount Trino with a distance of approximately 20 minutes to see one of the most fascinating sights of Sicily, including: Cape Milazzo and the Aeolian islands, mountain ranges of the Peloritani and Nebrodi and the impressive Mount Etna. The slopes of the mountain have been cultivated with olive and carob (Ceratonia siliqua) and on the north-eastern become canescenti elm (Ulmus canescens), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), myrtle (Myrtus communis) and oak (Quercus dalechampii).

For those who loves the sea it is very pleasant to circumnavigate the cape based on the "Beach Vaccarella" to the "Bay of tone."
The environment of Milazzo is a very unique and the beauty of beaches and coves of the Cape continues even under the sea surface full of Posidonias and a large number of fish species.
Finally, are easily reached from Milazzo, the Aeolian Islands (Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Stromboli, Panarea, Filicudi and Alicudi) for those who want to be immerse in the beauty of nature and myth.
