    The sixteenth century castle, also known as Spanish Fortress, is a fortress built during the military strengthening of the territory which took place during the Spanish domination in southern Italy (early sixteenth century).
    Despite the reason for which it was built, the sixteenth-century castle was never used for war purposes, but went from being the residence of the Spanish governor to accommodation for soldiers before being declared a national monument in 1902.
