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.

It is believed that Blessed Giacomo had the gift of prophecy during his lifetime: in particular, the episode involving Duke Andrea Matteo III Acquaviva is known; the nobleman had participated in the Barons' Conspiracy and was risking his life, but the friar predicted that he would be forgiven by the king and would have a son. Once both events occurred, the duke built the straight road that connects the convent to the town as a thanksgiving.

Blessed Giacomo lived in the Bittese convent until 1463, when according to tradition he moved to Bari, in the Franciscan convent built in those years. After 1469 he was certainly in Cassano delle Murge, in the convent of Santa Maria degli Angeli, to which he is linked by some episodes. From 1480 to 1483 he returned to Bitetto, which had been struck by the plague; despite his advanced age, he did not fail to support the population, devoting himself to prayer, care and assistance to the plague-stricken. Between 1483 and 1485 he lived in the convent of Santa Maria dell'Isola in Conversano, as evidenced by Agostino da Ponzone in recording the friar's presence in the ducal castle during the illness and miraculous recovery of little Giovanni Battista Acquaviva. In 1485 he returned definitively to Bitetto, where he died on 27 April 1496.

BARONAL PALACE NOYA Outside the walls, close to Porta Baresana or Piscina, stands the Baronial Palace commissioned by the Noya family, the penultimate feudal lord of the city, originally from Mola di Bari, who in 1743 bought the fiefdom of Bitetto from Prince Carmine de Angelis. The building rises to the dual function of an urban palace, being just outside the walls, and a country residence, due to the fortified walls that protect it. In fact, it is fortified by a mighty enclosure wall made of diamond-cut stone ashlars, eurythmically marked by Tuscan-style pilasters and columns on high plinths at the access portal, emphasized by the raising of the wall, like a trapezoid.
