Descrizione
Among all the XVI century castles of southern Italy I know, Barletta’s has a majestic grandeur and a formidable appearance of vigor that give it a unique character.
Maybe, it’s the special location, maybe the nice warm color that the passing of time gave to the stone, maybe the clear shape of the sharp edges in the adamant stone, what is certain is that it exerts a powerful fascination on those who see its colossal building from afar, standing out against the sea.
