Castel Dragonara or Castello di Dragonara is the ancient testimony of the fortified village of Dragonara in the Fortore Valley.
This ancient manor is the last testimony of the Byzantine-Norman-Swabian fortress destroyed in 1255 by the papal troops engaged in the war against Manfredi, son of Frederick II, emperor very close to the Capitanata.
It is possible to visit, in the area, other cultural sites dating back to the historical period of the 12th century which are particularly active, marking the transition from simple farmers to a society (provided it is medieval) with rules, organized and predominant in the surrounding area.
