Castello D’Amely

Castello D’Amely

The story

Today’s called baronial palace D’Amely, was built on the edge of the ancient city walls of the village. The stellar plan of the building finds only three other comparisons in the whole region Puglia. The tower, once surrounded by a moat, rised up isolated from the ring of the medieval walls, which probably had became an ineffective defensive system. The presence of a small bell tower on top of the façade, reminds us of the
existence of a small chapel on the ground floor that still preserves the frescoes of Christ Crucified and a Madonna and Child.
