About Lipari
Lipari's old town is a layered place: a Norman cathedral and a castle above Greek and Roman remains, all wrapped in alleys that still follow the ancient street plan. To read it properly, start with Lipari: a stroll through history, alleys and panoramas, or go deeper on the Lipari: Guided Walking Tour of the Millennia-Old Historic Old Town, which traces the island's long settlement story on foot.

Frequently asked questions
Lipari has been continuously settled for millennia, so its history sits in layers rather than in a single monument. A good experience connects the castle and cathedral, the archaeological remains, and the everyday alleys of the old town. Walking tours and island cruises that include historic villages give you that context instead of isolated sights.
