    Tips

    March 24, 2022

    The first building in the area, a tower, dates back to the 12th century. At that time this area was wooded and rich in fauna and that is why it is believed that the tower was a hunting lodge. The town of San Vito dei Normanni developed around this tower. Over the centuries, various families have taken turns to control the territory, each of which has brought changes and additions to the original structure of the building. Around the seventeenth century the Dentice family settled there, still owner of the castle, from which the building takes its current name. On the entrance portal of the chapel the heraldic coat of arms of the family, a snapper, and the motto reciting "Noli me tangere" are clearly visible.
