The castle of Barletta is the result of a series of architectural stratifications due to the succession of several dynasties in power, successive eleventh century to the eighteenth century. It was a fortress for defensive purposes, surrounded by sea that occupied the moat around the castle and isolated him from potential enemy attacks. It is a strategic point in the city life and a major urban core. It houses the town library, the municipal museum and a conference hall and exhibitions.
Among the works, over an alleged bust of Frederick II of Swabia in limestone, dating from the thirteenth century, is here placed the sarcophagus of the Apostles, high-relief stone first evidence of Christianity in Barletta, dating from the period between the third and IV century.
