    Posted in Salento Fortifications collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni - The most ancient structure of the current Aragonese castle dates back, in all probability, to the XII-XIII century and was built on the remains of the Byzantine fortress. In the second half of the 13th century, Charles I of Anjou defines it as a fortress of strategic importance for the defense of the kingdom. The castle, numbered together with the fortresses of Ostuni, Taranto, Ugento and Torremaggiore, is considered of national importance and considered among the most functional, combining together natural defenses and military architecture [source: it.m.wikipedia.org / wiki / Castello_di_Castro]
