Sannicandro di Bari

Sannicandro di Bari (Barese: Sannecàndre) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Bari, Apulia, southern Italy.

The main attraction of Sannicandro is the Hohenstaufen-Norman castle, located in the centre of the city.

It is composed of two structures one within the other: the first one was built by the Byzantines in 916, with a line of walls in stone with six quadrangular towers.

During the reign in Sicily of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor (1198-1250), the structure was adapted for use as a castle.
