Castello di Sannicandro Garganico

San Nicandro Garganico, Italy, Italy

Castello di Sannicandro Garganico, also known as the Norman-Aragonese Castle, is a historic fortress located in the old center of San Nicandro Garganico in Puglia.

Originally built around a defensive tower during the medieval period, it occupies a strategic elevated position that allowed control of the surrounding territory and routes through the Gargano area. The castle was expanded and modified by several ruling powers, including the Normans, Swabians, Angevins, and Aragonese.

It is linked to notable historical figures such as Emperor Frederick II, who used it as a base during hunting trips in the Gargano, and it later gained additional towers and fortifications adapted to changing military needs. Today, the castle remains one of the town’s most important landmarks, recognizable for its mix of square and circular towers and its medieval architecture.
