In its long history, the island has known many occupants, from the Greek, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and many more, but the present name comes from the dynasty in the 15th century that most influenced the characteristic appearance of the island: Alfonso I of Aragon. It was the time when the typical tunnel was digged in the rock for pedestrian access.

You can take part in our guided tours at set departure times or book individual or group tours.

Aragonese Castle is also a venue for corporate and private events such as weddings...
