Castello normanno-aragonese di San Nicandro Garganico, Medieval castle in San Nicandro Garganico, Italy.
The castle features a trapezoidal base with two square towers on the north side and two circular Aragonese towers on the south side.
The structure began as a Norman watchtower and later evolved into a fortress that served as Emperor Frederick II's hunting lodge in the Gargano region.
The castle underwent modifications during different periods, incorporating both Norman and Aragonese architectural elements that reflect regional building techniques.
In February 2020, the municipality of San Nicandro Garganico acquired ownership of the castle, making it accessible for public visits and cultural events.
The eastern entrance features a Renaissance loggia that once connected the castle to a large palace, adding architectural distinction to the structure.
