Castilly was once a small commune (which is like a local town or village area) located in the Calvados department. This department is part of the Normandy region in northwestern France. On January 1, 2017, Castilly joined with another commune called Isigny-sur-Mer. This means it is no longer a separate commune but is now part of a larger one.
