Castello Dentice di Frasso di San Vito dei Normanni, Medieval castle in San Vito dei Normanni, Italy.
The castle consists of a Norman square tower with battlements, narrow openings, and rectangular buildings arranged around a central courtyard.
The initial structure was built by Bohemond of Hauteville in the 11th century as a strategic point along the road connecting San Vito to Oria.
The interior contains decorated halls, paintings, hunting trophies, and the town archive, representing centuries of local aristocratic life.
Located at Via Francesco Crispi 4, the castle remains a private residence owned by the Dentice di Frasso family descendants.
The original entrance featured a drawbridge connected to the chapel door, while the current entrance displays a pointed arch with the Dentice family crest.
