Castello di Barletta, Norman castle in Barletta, Italy
The castle features four pentagonal bastions at its corners, a surrounding moat, and defensive structures including drawbridges and artillery positions across its walls.
Norman forces constructed the initial fortress between 1046 and 1050, with subsequent rulers including Frederick II of Swabia expanding it through the 18th century.
The Municipal Library and Civic Museum within the castle walls contain historical manuscripts, artifacts, and the notable bust of Emperor Frederick II.
The castle offers guided tours throughout its restored chambers, courtyards, and defensive structures from Tuesday through Sunday, with special exhibitions in dedicated halls.
During the 16th century Spanish rule, the castle received extensive modifications to accommodate new artillery technology while maintaining its medieval character.
