Malconsiglio Castle

Description

The town of Miglionico developed around the imposing Malconsiglio Castle, built in the 8th-9th centuries. With its six towers, it dominated the entire Bradano valley. The name of the castle is linked to the bloody story of the conspiracy of the Barons of the Kingdom of Naples against King Ferdinand I of Aragon (1485). The most particular part is the Hall of the Star also known as the Hall of Spirits where there are niches carved in the walls and support the treasures of the inhabitants.
