I love old castles and this is one of the most wonderful medieval castles I have ever seen. It was built by the Normans and the architecture is fantastic. It originally was surrounded by the sea. Today the moat is dry and the sea is a short distance away. I felt they have tried to maintain the integrity of the original structure and It is interesting to wander around inside and imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago. It is beautiful and in very good condition. There are some interesting stone coats of arms in the courtyard. Visit the very top of the castle for fabulous views and also to see the structures that were built there so the locals could witness beheadings. The castle is still used today for city events and a museum but no beheadings!. I think any castle buff will enjoy visiting this gem.
Este lindo castelo hoje abriga o Museu Municipal e uma galeria de quadros. É um castelo de arquitetura maciça, originalmente construído por Frederico II. Gostei bastante!
E chi l'avrebbe mai detto! Eravamo di passaggio in città e siamo capitati per caso davanti al castello che è di una bellezza unica! Merita sicuramente una visita se in zona.
Maestoso, pulitissimo e riportato agli antichi fervori.. regna ed è attorniato da tanto verde! Merita di esser visitato..
The castle is attractive from the outside. The inside is mostly just a museum. The best part of this site is the outside and will take about 30 minutes at most to see.
What more can I say. The "red room" in the castle hosted my wedding and made for a great backdrop to the photos. A very nice castle.
Con mura di cinta perfettamente conservate e fossato, oggi prosciugato. Magnificamente restaurato che mette in piena luce la bellezza della pietra di travertino chiaro pugliese. Ospita mostre e un piccolo museo. Vale la pena!
This zone of Puglia is well-known for various medieval castles. One of them is located in Barletta. It's approximately 1 hour walk around with a nice view from the top.
Except the castle itself there is not much to see inside. The collection of artifacts is moderate, but still you can see some interesting pieces
giardini curati vista mare speciale che dire e da visitare per tutto il suo splendore e la sua storia
