Exploring Another Ruin Castle

The destruction of Deviski Hrad is also attributable to Napoleon. Again, large amounts of gunpowder strategically placed to ensure that the defences were compromised enough to render them useless and irreparable.

Looking for a day trip to be undertaken from Ptuj, we discovered Trakoscan, in North Western Croatia. Built as a fortress and observation post, it was refashioned over the centuries in to a fairytale castle.

We do have such a fondness of this spot with this wonderful angle of the castle of Roccascalegna. Every visitor must expect we will come to this bend in the road!

Down on Italy's heel, Gallipoli has a very pleasant old town. The harbour is protected by a well proportioned and picturesque castle.

Walls of Otranto

Eastern most town on the Italian mainland, with a small harbour, and a strategically important spot at the strait between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic. The town changed hands a number of times, between the Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and others. The castle and town walls attest to the efforts put in to retain the town.

Creccio is a village nearby that I have been wanting to visit for some time, having heard about some of the Medieval features.

Castel del Monte is a 13th century castle, built by Emperor Frederick II.

A beautiful octagonal structure, perfect for period settings, because of its magnificent proportions and its remoteness from all things modern.

Other than the ticketing system - you can't even go on line, you can only reserve using an App - in Italian.

I wonder what Frederick might have thought about groups of confused visitors crowded around tiny screens trying to work out how-the-hell they might be able to get inside!

Had a great day in Bari. Last time we were in this part of the world, 20 something years ago, we by-passed Bari. Overall, we had a fantastic stop here.
