Castello di San Basilio, Medieval castle in Pisticci, Italy.

The castle features a central courtyard leading to multiple sections including a refectory, kitchen, dormitory, archive, library, and an 18th-century church.

Originally constructed as a fortified farm in the 7th century, the structure evolved into a Norman castle with the addition of a central tower in the 11th century.

The castle serves as a location for film productions, managed by the Lucana Film Commission, which supports various audiovisual projects through national tax credits.

The castle stands on an elevated position with paved roads leading to its entrance, providing clear views over the Gulf of Taranto.

The exterior square displays a local stone mosaic pattern that guides visitors through a centuries-old arch to enter the castle grounds.
