Castle of Santa Severina, Medieval castle and historical museum in Santa Severina, Italy.

The fortified complex contains a square keep with four cylindrical towers and extends across 10,000 square meters on a hilltop position.

Norman leader Robert Guiscard ordered the construction of the castle in the 11th century, establishing a strong defensive position over the Neto river valley.

The castle museum presents exhibitions about military history and displays artifacts that illustrate the development of Santa Severina through different periods.

The castle receives 9,000 visitors annually and provides guided tours through its preserved rooms, towers, ramparts, and historical exhibitions.

The structure incorporates architectural elements from multiple periods, including Norman foundations, Angevin towers, and Aragonese fortifications.
