City of Racale - Baronial Castle
Channel: Città aperte in rete
Date: 03/04/2018

The castle dates back to the fifteenth century and rises on a pre-existing Norman manor.
It was originally four-sided and had four towers, placed at the four corners.
In the first half of the sixteenth century the feudal family of the Ptolemies took care of restructuring the castle, softening it with a work of considerable restyling that eliminated the architectural elements closely related to the defensive functions.
