Castello ducale, Medieval Hohenstaufen castle in Bisaccia, Italy
The Castello ducale features six four-sided towers positioned at the corners and midpoints of its trapezoidal layout, surrounded by robust brick walls.
Built in 916 by Byzantine general Niccolò Piccingli to defend Apulia from Saracen invasions, the castle received major Hohenstaufen additions in 1242.
The castle represents a combination of Byzantine, Norman, and Hohenstaufen architectural elements, showcasing the evolution of military construction techniques through centuries.
Located in the historic center of Bisaccia, visitors can access the castle through the former moat area, which was transformed into a street in 1836.
The castle's structural design incorporates two distinct construction periods, featuring an original Byzantine core later enhanced with Hohenstaufen fortifications.
