Feudal complex dating back to the seventeenth century, located in Serranova, in the countryside belonging to the municipality of Carovigno. The structure consists of a wall that encloses a square tower, surrounded by small medieval houses. At the end of the 18th century the structure became the property of Prince Gerardo Dentice di Frasso. In 1976 the structure was sold by the Dentice di Frasso heirs to a farm, thus making the complex inaccessible as it is private.

Serranova is a small agricultural village, about 9 km from Carovigno and not far from the sea; it is made up of a few houses, inhabited both in summer and winter. The Castle of Serranova was the object of several alienations from feudal lord to feudal lord: from Ottavio Serra to Scipione Costaguto in 1653, from him to the Castaldo family, then to Giulio di Sangro in 1684, finally in 1702 it came into the hands of the baron Scipione Granafei [unsourced] [1]; the Granafei family gave prestige to that territory, renowned for its extension and for the significant number of centuries-old olive trees that it included. In 1742, the fiefdom and the Castle of Serranova came to Michele Imperiali, prince of Francavilla Fontana and lord of Carovigno. With the death of Michele Imperiali, who had no successor, the last devolution to the Treasury took place in 1782.
