Castles around Country of Foggia, palaces and mansions

The area around Country of Foggia is rich in castles, towers, and historic houses, a strong testimony of medieval architecture. A dense network of manors spreads out over the whole area, in the plains, on the gentle hill slopes and perched on rocky mountains, surrounded by vineyards, beech and chestnut woods. Built in strategic positions, they dominate the surrounding valleys, often with mighty crenellated walls and lively interior decorations made on frescoed walls to recall the opulence of the local noble families. Many can be visited, still others used as homes, and still others only ruins as evidence of a glorious past. Discover with Visititaly, the fortresses, the villas, the forts, the historic buildings, the noble residences and all the places linked to culture in the surroundings of Country of Foggia.

Manfredonia - Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello di Manfredonia

Historical news of the Castle of Manfredonia starts from the 13th century when the city was under the domination of the Angevin. It is assumed that Charles I requested construction on a previous structure consisting of rooms closed by walls with communication doors to the outside. In the Aragonese era, the structure of the Castle was transformed. In fact, a city wall was built that incorporated the previous structure and a pentagonal bastion was built that incorporated one of the circular towers.
