Norman castle of Anversa degli Abruzzi, Medieval fortress in Anversa degli Abruzzi, Italy.
The Norman castle features a parallelepiped structure built with stone materials and includes the Chapel of Saint Michael the Archangel within its walls.
Antonio di Sangro constructed this castle in the 15th century upon the foundations of a 12th-century tower that served as a defensive outpost.
The Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio selected this location as the setting for his 1905 literary work 'La fiaccola sotto il moggio'.
The castle stands at coordinates 41°59'39"N and 13°48'09"E, offering visitors access to both the structure and surrounding mountain landscapes.
The Maiella earthquake of 1706 caused substantial damage to the castle, leaving only the main residential section and chapel intact.
