Castle of Trani

The castle features thick stone walls, four corner towers, and a central courtyard overlooking the Adriatic Sea from its strategic coastal position.

Frederick II ordered the construction of this military stronghold in 1233 as part of his network of defensive structures across southern Italy.

The castle houses military exhibits and historical artifacts that demonstrate the evolution of warfare techniques from medieval times through subsequent centuries.

Visitors can explore three levels of the castle, including the underground chambers, battlements, and museum sections, with full wheelchair accessibility throughout.

The fortress incorporates architectural elements from both Norman and Islamic traditions, reflecting the multicultural influences in 13th-century southern Italian construction.
