Castello De Falconibus, Medieval castle in Pulsano, Italy
The quadrangular structure features five towers of varying sizes, with the main entrance facing west towards the central plaza of Pulsano.
Built around the Square Tower in 1100, the castle provided protection for local inhabitants who moved inland from coastal areas due to Saracen raids.
The castle walls display the coats of arms of both the De Falconibus and Muscettola families, representing the succession of noble ownership through centuries.
The castle opens for art exhibitions and municipal events, with access through the main entrance located on Via Costantinopoli in central Pulsano.
Three of the five original towers remain incorporated into surrounding properties, preserving the medieval layout within modern urban development.
