A place where the shadows of history and beauty intersect. Enjoy a quiet moment at Castello Tramontano. 🏰🌆 #Matera #CastelloT

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Castello Tramontano is a 16th century Renaissance-style fortress located on a hill in the old town of Matera. Construction began in 1501 by Count Gian Carlo Tramontano, the ruler of the town, during the rule of the Kingdom of Naples. It is said that this castle was built not to protect the people of the town, but to monitor and oppress them. As a result, the count incurred the resentment of the town and was eventually assassinated. Today, the beautiful circular tower and castle walls remain, and the surrounding area has been developed into a lush park, making it a place of relaxation for locals and tourists. Especially in the evening, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset view of the town of Matera from here.
