Wem historische Ausgrabungen und ein Kastell nach deutscher Bauweise gefallen - ein prima Ort.
Tolle Kapitelle aus dem 12./13.Jahrhundert sind zu bestaunen. Alles klar und nicht zu eng präsentiert.
Mir hat's sehr gut gefallen.

Amazing medieval castle remodelled in Renaissance times in the interiors. Hosts an amazing collection of Magna Grecia vases excavated in necropolis around Ruvo di Puglia. Free entry with booking from a local app.

Magnificent castle built by Roger ll during the Norman reign.The exterior is magnificent, but inside there is only a poor collection of statues and photos. Also many exhibition rooms have been emptied. If you are in a hurry just taking a photo outside is enough.

I felt like we didn’t get our money’s worth during our tour of this castle. It was pretty empty and we didn’t get to see much. They did, however, have a pretty cool St. Nicholas exhibit! So I enjoyed that.

Well this castle is simply just stone for 9 euro. Dont expect anything else. We have been to different cities and castles like Paris, Madrid, Lisbon and etc. Even the castle in Brighton is some interesting and cheaper than this nothing to see 9 euro castle. Just one staircase to see inside. No body will tell you you cant go up to the top and you cant refund. For this money in Bari you can get 3 top icecream.

If you are under 25 years old, it's nearly worth it because you "just" pay 4,50€. Above 25 you pay 9€ and we definitly would not pay this amount. It's not possible to go on the Towers, you can only visit one half of the castle and it seems a lot bigger from outside. In this one half, there are just a few rooms to visit. The only really interesting thing were the basement rooms.
We were here about 30 minutes and saw everything. We asked a guide if it's possible to see more of the castle but he just replied very unfriendly "dangerous".
We are lucky, that we are under 25 and just paid 4,50€ for this.

Endlich wieder zugänglich! Bald werden auch andere Räume für Touristen freigegeben. Die Austellungsräumlichkeiten sind genial organisiert. Das Personal ist teilweise sehr kompetent.
