Bernalda Castle, Medieval castle in Bernalda, Italy
The stone castle features a quadrangular layout with angular towers and stands on elevated ground overlooking the Basento valley in Basilicata.
Originally called Camarda, the castle underwent major reconstruction in 1466 under Bernardino de Bernardo, leading to the town's current name.
The castle remains an essential part of Italian national heritage, representing the architectural evolution from Norman to Aragonese influences in southern Italy.
The fortress contains fourteen water wells throughout its structure, which served to maintain water supply during extended defensive operations.
The internal structure includes a basement, ground floor defensive positions, and two upper levels arranged around a central courtyard.
