Lonely Planet review for Castello Svevo

The Castello Svevo broods on the edge of Bari Vecchia. The Normans originally built over the ruins of a Roman fort. Frederick II then built over the Norman castle, incorporating it into his design – the two towers of the Norman structure still stand. The bastions, with corner towers overhanging the moat, were added in the 16th century during Spanish rule, when the castle was a magnificent residence. Permanent and temporary art exhibitions are held here.
