The castle of Lucera is a 13th century Swabian-Angevin fortress, built by Frederick II and enlarged by Charles I of Anjou. It is located on the top of Colle Albano from which it dominates the Tavoliere delle Puglie. It was the residence of the emperor and the Saracens who had moved from Sicily, today it is a national monument and preserves the ruins of the palace, the mint and the mosque.

The fortress dominated the arrival of the Transhumance flocks from the top of Colle Albano. Lucera, before Foggia, was the seat of customs.
