Angevin tower, Medieval defensive tower in Bitonto, Italy
The Angevin Tower rises 24 meters high with walls reaching 5 meters in thickness, displaying a circular base of 16.10 meters in diameter.
Construction of the tower began in the late 14th century during the Angevin dynasty to protect Porta Baresana, serving as one of 28 defensive structures.
The tower now functions as the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art, featuring permanent collections from regional artists across multiple exhibition spaces.
Visitors can access the tower from Monday through Saturday between 9:00 and 13:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00 with free admission for everyone.
Underground passages connect this tower to the other 27 towers of Bitonto's ancient defensive system through a network of tunnels.
