History

Near the present site was located in the ancient city originally Sicel Abacaenum (or Abakainon / Ἀβάκαινον ), which came under Greek cultural influence. As Syracuse grew and Tyndaris was founded 396 BC, the city lost dramatically in importance, but there was continued at least until the Roman Imperial period. In the Middle Ages Tripi stretched around the castle, which has been preserved as a ruin.
