Description

Frederick II included Barletta Castle as one of the castles of the Terra di Bari (Land of Bari). Constructed by the Normans in the second half of the 12th century, the castle encapsulates the history of the city where, in the past centuries, the famous “disfida” (challenge) was held.

Over time, the city's ruling families have marked their passage with structural interventions that testify to the castle's central role. The Angevins transformed it from a manor house into a fortress, while the Aragonese Emperor Charles V further consolidated its defensive role.

Today the Castle stages events, exhibitions and shows, whilst its every corner conserves something of the fascination of history.
