    The castle was probably built in the 7th century AD, its existence is attested as early as the 10th century AD when it was devastated by the Byzantines together with the city. With the arrival of the Normans around 1050, it was restructured and fortified. In the following centuries it suffered the devastation of several catastrophic earthquakes.

    Probably built during the 7th century AD , with the coming of the Normans, around 1050, it was renovated and fortified. In the following centuries it suffered the devastations of some catastrophic earthquakes. A large tower and a few walls remain of it, partly obtained from the rock and partly rising sheer above the surrounding ravines.
