The Aragonese Castle which was built by the Normans around 1054 purely for the purpose of a defensive fortress and became the home of the Acquaviva Counts and was transformed through subsequent alterations into a sumptuous stately home.
The fort was built on ancient megalithic walls, dating back to the VI-IV century BC, still visible at the base of the Torre Maestra, the only surviving Norman tower.

Some say that everything related to Conversano "is almost as old as time." The beginnings of the settlement of the current city limits date back at least to the Iron Age, when the local indigenous people founded a settlement called Norba, on the remains of which the city of Conversano was built. In its historical part, at the highest point of the hill, there is the symbol of the city, built of limestone rocks - Castello di Conversano.
