Gallipoli Castle

Gallipoli, Apulia, Italy, Italy

Gallipoli Castle is a historic coastal fortress located at the entrance to Gallipoli’s old town in Apulia.

Surrounded almost entirely by the sea, it has protected the city and its harbor for centuries and occupies a site that was fortified as early as Roman and Byzantine times. The castle was expanded and strengthened by successive rulers, including the Normans, Emperor Frederick II, the Angevins, and the Aragonese.

Major additions such as towers, a moat, and advanced defensive structures transformed it into one of the most important strongholds along the Salento coast. Today, the castle is one of Gallipoli’s most iconic landmarks. Its imposing walls, towers, and waterfront setting offer visitors a fascinating glimpse into the town’s military history while providing spectacular views of the Ionian Sea and the historic center.
