Castles in the South of Italy

The South of Italy is rich in history and art. Castles are plenty and many of them are still in fantastic conditions: some of them are very famous, others are barely known, all of them represent charming destinations for a beautiful day’s outing. Because of their predominantly marine locations,  it can be said the majority of them were built to prevent sea attacks and to defend the areas surrounding them. Today, most of these buildings are known because of their historical relevance. Here are the names of some of the most famous among all castles of Southern Italy. Check the links for more info on how and when visiting them!
