The Castle of Santa Severina is an imposing structure 10,000 square meters wide, which contains about a thousand years of history. Byzantines, Normans, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese together with several important families, among all the dynasty of Andrea Carafa, had a fundamental role in the construction and in the different building stratification that characterizes the Castle. significant changes are due to the Sculco and, above all, to the Grutther who, having lost the need for defense, transformed the keep of the fortress into a noble residence by furnishing it with the precious decorations of Francesco Jordano. In the castle, in addition to the temporary exhibitions that are constantly being set up there, there is the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of weapons and armor, the exhibition of the historical Costume and an exhibition on medieval torture. Inside the Castle there is also the municipal Enoteca Valle del Neto with several important companies in our area.

We visited the castle in the late afternoon which is a great time to go because you get the cool breeze and the sunset. €4 per adult seemed like good value for money. Signs in multiple languages. We wandered around for about an hour enjoying the views and learning about the history.
