The cortile rinascimentale of the Castello Svevo of Bari
The cortile rinascimentale of the Castle of Bari is an open courtyard composed of different architectural elements representative of the historical and political connections that characterize the Apulian Renaissance. The cortile is located inside the old castle built by the Norman king Roger II in 1139 to control urban unrest. Under the reign of the Swabian Emperor Frederick II, the castle became one of southern Italy's largest fortresses of the Swabian defense system. Since then, it has been known as the “Castello svevo”.
