Walls, towers and gates Bari

The Masseria Alberotanza Ex Torre Pieschi was built during the 13th century and belonged to the family of Pieschi di Modugno. During the 18th century the structure was expanded by the Alberotanza family, originally from Mola di Bari. The most impressive part is the tower of the building that has a square plan with architraved windows. Adjacent to the tower are also some one-storey rooms that had the function of chapel and storage of tools.

Masseria Madia Diana or two Towers was built between the 13th and 18th centuries where the Provincial Road 1 is currently located. The Tower was built in the thirteenth century and had the function of a structure for sighting and defending the adjacent village. Of the two towers we notice that there is only one left that comes with louvers and single doors on the side of the courtyard. The entrance to the farm takes place through the northeast part of the structure and inside it you can see an oil mill turned into a barrel where there are engravings.

The Tower of Inferno was built in 1568 as reported in the architrave of the structure itself. Initially, its function was mainly to defend and sighting the hinterland. The structure was part of the property of the Maiorano family. Currently, it is in good condition.

Masseria Torre Inferno was built in the sixteenth century at the behest of Isabella of Aragon, daughter of the king of Naples Alfonso II, with the intent to manage the agricultural funds of the area and for the deposit of her animals . Not long after, the building was donated to Enrico Tanzi who restructured some parts of it. The structure consists of several buildings among which stands a bell tower with eighteenth-century decorations. Of particular composition we also find the chapel dedicated to Sorrows with architravated portal.

The structure was built around 1500, in the hamlet of Torre a Mare near Bari. Its main function was to defend the coast from raiders and pirates raids. It was initially called 'Torre Apellosa' or 'Torre Lapillosa' and later took the current name.
