The coastal road is more beautiful than this inland road.

in front of the castle there is a balcony overlooking the sea

Beautiful, perfectly preserved example of an Aragonese castle. Very close there are two viewpoints

In an excellent state of conservation, the castle, located in the center of Andrano, was originally born as a farm in the thirteenth century and then subjected to numerous renovations and extensions until the seventeenth century. Large well-kept lawn behind the castle with playground.

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: https://it.m.wikipedia.org / wiki / Castello_di_Castro]

In 1466 it became the property of the Guarini Dukes, Lords of Poggiardo, who expanded the structure over the course of several centuries, progressively transforming it from a fortress into a fortified residential residence. During the seventeenth century the moat was filled, fenced and transformed into a citrus grove while in the following centuries several buildings were built on part of it, on whose roof a beautiful terrace was created [source: https://www.lavocedimaruggio.it /wp/fortresses-and-castles-of-puglia-the-guarini-of-poggiardo- castle.html]
