In 1278 the walls of Villanova were built, and about 20 years later the castle was built by the Angevins, who took over the domination of Ostuni from the Swabian-Normans, who were responsible for the intensification of olive cultivation. From surviving documents, demonstrating its strategic importance, it appears that around the 15th century the castle was a fully active defensive structure. In fact, the city of Ostuni under Aragonese domination, thanks also to the castle and the small port of Villanova, managed to maintain the status of a state city, therefore free from feudal duties. Due to the various destructions over time, little remains of the original 14th-century construction. Currently the castle is made up of three bodies that act as square towers with a sloped base. Around the building, at the height of the first floor, runs a tubular torus and from the roof of the building rises a turret modeled on the prototype of a lighthouse.
