Dating back to the 12th century, the Swabian Castle (Castello Svevo) stands as a prominent landmark in Bari, Italy. Nestled within fortified ramparts and featuring vaulted halls, this historic structure offers a unique contrast to the city’s Romanesque churches and art collections. Visitors can ascend the Hohenstaufen tower and Aragon walls, where they are rewarded with sweeping views of the city and the sea. The castle’s imposing presence and strategic vantage points provide a tangible connection to its medieval past.
