Posted in Salento Fortifications collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni - Almost completely surrounded by the sea, it stands with its imposing bulk at the eastern end of the island that houses the ancient village. Probably built as early as the 11th century on pre-existing Roman fortifications, it was rebuilt in the 13th century in the Byzantine era. It was remodeled several times by the conquerors who followed one another over the centuries [source: it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_di_Gallipoli]

It is a classic fortified structure deeply renovated over the centuries on a pre-existing Byzantine and medieval structure.
