Castle of Barletta, Hohenstaufen castle in Barletta, Italy
The castle structure incorporates four corner towers, a deep moat, and thick defensive walls built between the eleventh and seventeenth centuries.
Frederick II transformed the Norman fortress into a residential palace during the thirteenth century, adding architectural elements that reflected imperial power.
The castle maintains the Civic Museum, Municipal Library, and exhibits archaeological findings including the third-century Apostles Sarcophagus.
The gardens surrounding the castle provide public spaces near the Adriatic Sea, with direct access through a bridge over the ancient moat.
The castle served as a filming location for notable productions, including Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Gospel According to Matthew in 1964.
