Interventi normanni, svevi, angioini e aragonesi nel castello di Oria (Brindisi)
Delli Santi M., Corrado A.
Castle middle ages Oria Puglia
The territory of Oria is characterized by a hilly chain consisting of fossil dunes of the Pleistocene aligned in an east-west direction, which, emerging in a purely flat territorial context, are highlighted with notable morphological prominence in the surrounding landscape. The highest elevation, 166 meters above sea level, has been the site of human settlements since the Middle Bronze Age with defensive structures that have been adapted to the various war requirements in different historical periods. In the Middle Ages, the castle was built on it, whose origin is attributed by all scholars to Frederick II of Swabia. In the light of new data that have emerged as a result of research of a different nature (historical, archaeological, topographical, sculptural, toponymic), this work proposes a temporal re-examination of the other construction phases of the manor
