The "Torre del marchese Arcamone" is a fortified two-storey farmhouse whose last phase is certainly from the modern age, which has on the ground floor rooms for stables, warehouses and an oil mill. But what is its history and why is the district called this way? In 1399 the king of Naples, Louis, ceded the barony of Bitetto together with the fief of Ceglie and Bari, for having fought bravely in a war near Taranto, to Marcello Arcamone. Since 1382, during the reign of Charles III, he had come to Puglia with his brother Lionello, who had been given the Lordship of Ceglie. The Arcamone family lived in Bitetto for a long time. In 1407 Pope Martin V transferred Bishop the son of Marcello, Carlo Arcamone, from his seat in Venafro to Bitetto. The farm had many changes of ownership and in 1806, already belonging to the Noja family of Mola, it was confiscated for the abolition of the feudal regime.

Area of coolness. Regenerative pit stop recommended

The Torre del Marchese is an ancient farmhouse with an ancient history. Even today it represents one of the most important oil mills where the niches with the press for pressing the olives are still visible.

Country villa obtained from a pre-existing rural building, probably a small farmhouse or a tower on two levels. The stone entrance suggests an era of construction probably from the 19th century. Very pretty!!

It may seem true from a great distance but it really isn't
