For almost a century, after it was once again taken by the Angevins in 1341 and until the beginning of the 17th century, Milazzo was at the centre of numerous troubled wars linked to the feudal conflicts that bloodied Sicily. During the Spanish domination, the town increased its strategic importance. The most important and imposing fortifications of the historic Castle date from this period and can still be admired today. It was also several times the seat of the Viceroy and Lieutenants of Sicily.
