On Friday, April 25, 2025, for the Liberation Day, you can admire the Norman-Swabian Castle of Gioia del Colle and the magnificent artifacts of the National Archaeological Museum accompanied by an enjoyable and interesting Guided Tour. The tours will start at 10:00, 11:30, 14:00, 15:30, and 17:00.

You will be fascinated by the enchanting setting of the Norman-Swabian Castle, erected at the beginning of the 12th century A.D. by the Altavilla family, later enriched by the great Emperor Frederick II of Swabia between 1229-1230; the rooms, entirely visitable, feature interesting medieval architectures and elements through which it is possible to narrate the life and exploits of the Puer Apuliae.

The interesting collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Gioia del Colle, hosted in the halls of the Frederickian manor, preserves artifacts dating between the 9th and 3rd centuries B.C. from the ancient Peucetian city of Thuriae, now the archaeological area of Monte Sannace. Amphoras, vases, craters decorated with mythological scenes, fibulae, bracelets, coins, spears, swords, and armors are just some of the particular artifacts through which it is possible to trace the narrative of the ancient civilizations present in central Apulia of the time.

The Guided Tours involve a cost per person, with discounts for large groups. Entry to the National Archaeological Museum and Norman-Swabian Castle of Gioia del Colle will be free for everyone on the national holiday.

Contact us for information and reservations. We look forward to welcoming many of you!
