The Castle of Melfi in Basilicata is a monument owned by the Italian State and one of the most important medieval castles in Southern Italy. Its construction, at least the components still visible, dates back to Norman times and has undergone significant changes over time, especially in Angevin and Aragon time.
The origin of the castle of Melfi dating back to the late 11th century by the Normans, built in a strategic location that serves as a gateway between Campania and Apulia. Its placement was essential to defend itself from external attacks and as a refuge for the Allies. The structure was a place of “historic” events during the Norman period.
With the arrival of the Swabians, Frederick II gave great importance to the castle of Melfi, and made some modifications.
With the decadence of the Swabian and the arrival of new Angevin rulers, the castle of Melfi underwent massive renovations and expansions, as well as being elected by Charles II of Anjou official residence of his wife, Mary of Hungary, in 1284.
