Castelpagano, Medieval castle ruins near Apricena, Italy
The structure displays a quadrangular layout measuring 150 meters in perimeter, featuring one pentagonal tower and two circular towers at strategic points.
Records from 1095 mention Guimondo as castellan under Henry, Count of Gargano, followed by Richard in 1098 during the Norman administration period.
The castle and its surroundings represent a testament to medieval military architecture, reflecting the defensive priorities of the Norman period in southern Italy.
The castle remains include a central well tank system that collected rainwater, demonstrating medieval engineering solutions for water management in elevated positions.
Emperor Lothair II conducted a siege in 1137, leading to Richard's surrender, after which he faced arrest and physical punishment under Roger II's reconquest.
