San Marco la Catola: Guided visit to the Ducal Palace during FAI Spring Days

Guided visit to the Ducal Palace of San Marco la Catola

As part of the 34th edition of the FAI Spring Days, the Ducal Palace in San Marco la Catola will be open to the public for free guided tours. The event highlights one of the town's main monumental sites, now home to the Monti Dauni Library and spaces for social and cultural activities.

Locally referred to as the “Castle”, the complex dates back to the 13th century: originally built as a castrum, it is mentioned in medieval statutes and has been extended and adapted over time, becoming a symbol of noble residence. It remained property of the Pignatelli family until 1821 and is today preserved as a monument serving the community.
