Balsignano, Medieval fortification in Modugno, Italy
The complex includes two rectangular towers, a two-level building, and a courtyard accessed through a pointed arch portal near Lamasinata branch.
First documented in 961 under Byzantine rule, Balsignano faced destruction by Saracens in 988 and later became part of Norman territories.
The site contains two religious buildings: the Church of Santa Maria of Constantinople and the Church of San Felice, displaying regional architectural elements.
Archaeological excavations from the 1990s revealed foundations of medieval towers and an ancient burial ground near the Church of San Felice.
Recent research discovered a Neolithic settlement from the 6th-5th millennium BC, making it the oldest known site in Lower Murgia.
