Gravina's Middle-Ages Castle Ruins

Gravina's Middle-Ages Castle Ruins, built by Emperor Frederick II in 1231, offer a glimpse into the grandeur of the Middle Ages. The rectangular structure, 58.5m x 29m, with four towers, remains largely in ruins, with only parts of the perimeter walls and the basement remaining. The castle had three floors, including a mezzanine, where rooms for falconry and servant quarters were located. The noble apartments, located on the upper floor, were adorned with beautiful multi-foiled windows, ornamented with intricately carved stone. From these windows, visitors can still admire the city of Gravina, the Lucan Appennines, and most of the Murge. The castle is one of the medieval monuments in the territory of Bari, and its history has been recorded in various books.
