City of Andrano - The Spinola-Caracciolo Castle
Channel: Città aperte in rete
Date: 2018-02-08

On a quadrangular plant with a shoe-shaped basis, the impressive structure is adorned by a decorative ledge that goes around the entire perimeter of the castle probably with a mere aesthetic function. It marks the junction between the superior vertical wall and the ramp of the wall in the lower part. Two different architectures denote two different social statuses living on the two different floors. The castle presents at its extremity four big towers of whom just one circular shaped, Scirocco-oriented. Two square towers on the other hand, are Libeccio and Grecale-oriented.
