    Entering the beautiful Villa Comunale di Lucera (FG), rich in vegetation, palm trees and oleanders, you can see in front of the imposing Svevo-Angioina Fortress, called Castello di Lucera. The castle dominates the promontory, a crucial point for controlling the surrounding valley. Able to block attacks from Troia (FG), Monti Dauni and the Gargano.

      Restoration and expansion measures are planned for the Swabian-Angevin fortress of Lucera.

      On the top of Albano Hill, above which the acropolis of Roman Lucera once stood, Frederick II began building his Palatium in the early 12th century to control the forced resettlement of the Saracens from Sicily to Lucera.

        View of the ruins of the castle of Frederick the Second. Unfortunately only ruins.
