Castle of Gioia Sannitica, Medieval castle in Gioia Sannitica, Italy.
The castle stands on a hill in the Caselle district, featuring high defensive walls and visible remains of a three-floor noble residence.
The Norman stronghold experienced a dramatic end in the mid-15th century when an earthquake and plague outbreaks led to its abandonment.
Archaeological excavations revealed forty residential units within the castle complex, indicating a structured social hierarchy between nobles and common inhabitants.
The castle site divides into two sections: the archaeological area and the main fortification, with a path running alongside the fortress walls.
Near the central tower, visitors can observe the remains of a large fireplace that marked the location of the main castle hall.
