Barletta - Barletta is an Italian town of about 92,000 inhabitants in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani in Puglia.

There are many important monuments, such as the Cathedral, the basilicas and the various churches, as well as the memorial ossuary of the fallen Slavs, many civil architectures and the Curci Theater.

An interesting and different monument from the others is the Castle of Barletta. It is a mix of different architectural stratifications due to the different dynasties that have dominated it. In addition to being a place of art and history, because it contains a bust of Frederick II of Swabia and the Sarcophagus of the Apostles, it is also the seat of the municipal library, the Civic Museum and rooms used for exhibitions and conferences. The Castle is a strategic point in city life, one of the cornerstones of the city: its gardens, its moat, its basements and its courtyard make this place unique and fascinating.
