Ravishing Rotonda -6
If it is true that the date of foundation of the current center of Rotonda can not be affirmed with certainty, it is also true that it existed at the time of the Lombards, to whom the country owes its origin to the need for fortification manifested by the people in order to oppose the Goth invaders.
In the Middle Ages Rotonda fell under the rule of Roberto il Guiscardo and from the 8th century underwent the domination of several families.
The decisive role in the history of the town was undoubtedly that of the Sanseverino di Bisignano (XV century), which was responsible for the construction of the castle of which only the ruins are visible today.
