Palermo, le carceri di Palazzo Steri Chiaramonte e il tribunale dell'inquisizione

Stasera su Rai Storia alle 20.30 si parlerà del Carcere di Palazzo Steri, utilizzato dall’inizio del ‘600 alla fine del ‘700 dall’inquisizione spagnola per imprigionare tutti i cittadini scomodi per la vita sociale, politica e soprattutto religiosa, dell’antica città di Palermo.

I graffiti riscoperti, durante il restauro del Palazzo, ci comunicano pensieri e stati d’animo struggenti, che arrivano a noi in modo diretto, opere realizzate nel buio per rimanere nel buio, che ci raccontano il dramma della prigionia più infame, perché spesso ingiusta.

Ne ho parlato sul mio blog:

La leggenda dei diavoli del Castello della Zisa di Palermo

La leggenda racconta anche che, chiunque provi a contare il numero esatto dei Diavoli della Zisa, non ci riesce, questo perché questi iniziano a muoversi e mescolarsi.

Inoltre se il giorno dell’Annunziata (25 marzo) i Diavoli vengono fissati troppo a lungo, inizieranno a muovere la coda o storcere la bocca.

Castle of Krakow bishops, Iłża, Poland (part 2)

During the Swedish Deluge, the castle was seriously damaged by the Swedish and Transylvanian armies. The Cracow bishops took care of the reconstruction of the building, but despite the efforts and periodic renovation works (the last one, undertaken in 1782, consisted in replacing the roof), when their property was taken over by the state authorities during the Four-Year Sejm (1789), the residence was in a dilapidated condition.

After the partitions, the Austrians set up a field hospital in the castle, later parties were organized in several well-ordered chambers. During one of them a great fire broke out. The ruins became a source of stone building material for the city. Further damage was the result of shelling and devastation during both world wars - especially the tower (a convenient observation post) suffered. Today - after securing, roofing and lighting - it houses a seasonally open viewpoint. During the ongoing, next phase of conservation, the walls and foundations of the buildings in the outer bailey were uncovered, the courtyard and the entrance road were paved.

Castle of Krakow bishops, Iłża, Poland (part 1)

The original wooden fortified residence of the clergy was located in the old town, but in the 13th century it was destroyed - probably as a result of subsequent Tatar and Lithuanian invasions. According to Jan Długosz, the brick castle on the neighboring hill (on the eastern side of the city) was supposed to have been built by bishop Jan Grot (bishop of Kraków in the years 1327–1347).

The oldest element of the fortifications was the characteristic round stone tower, intended as the last point of defense (which still exists today). The next phase of expansion was in 14th and 15th centuries, when circumferential stone walls appeared (also in the town), and then the entrance was modified - from then on it led through a long bridge with stone pillars along the western side of the stronghold. In the 16th century (around 1560), under the rule of a well-known patron of science and art, Bishop Filip Padniewski, the castle was transformed into a Renaissance residence, while the internal Gothic buildings (except the tower) were demolished. The defense system of the stronghold was also improved, surrounding the outer bailey with a wall (it became the so-called lower castle), adding bastions and a new entrance. In the 17th century, the fortification of the outer bailey was continued, while the upper castle, then topped with an attic, was expanded and beautified.

It is located in the western part of the Lublin Province on the Vistula River. It was erected in the years 1508 - 1526 thanks to the efforts of Mikołaj Firlej, the Great Hetman of the Crown, and for over 150 years it remained in the possession of the Firlejs.

At the end of the 16th century, the fortress began to lose its military significance in favor of residential functions. In the years 1565-1585, further expansion of the castle took place. The work was led by an Italian architect - Santi Gucci.

At the beginning of the 17th century, after the Tarło family took over the castle, the residential part was extended and the western and eastern towers were added.

On February 7, 1656, the castle was plundered and burned during the Swedish invasion under the command of Charles Gustav. Then, it was rebuilt and extended in the Baroque style by the Lubomirski family, who owned it until the first half of the 18th century. The reconstruction was supervised by the Dutch architect Tylman of Gameren.

In 1783, Jerzy Marcin Lubomirski lost a castle at cards. Its new owner was Mikołaj Piaskowski. However, neither he nor the subsequent owners (including the Osławski family) were able to maintain the castle. They sold all the furnishings (even the marbles were taken off the walls) and the castle was abandoned and fell into disrepair.

In 1931, the castle was purchased by Leon Kozłowski from Warsaw. He renovated only two rooms in the tower, but - more importantly - stopped the vandals. The castle with the adjacent land was too small an estate to be nationalized as part of the agricultural reform passed. As a result, Kozłowski was the only owner of the castle in the Eastern Bloc.

In 1975, the building was purchased by the Vistula Museum and since 1993 it has been gradually renovated.

The Royal Castle in Chęciny, Poland (part 2)

In 1465 a dangerous fire broke out in the castle, and from the second half of the 16th century, that is, when Queen Bona moved out, Chęciny Castle began to lose its luster and splendor. Another fire took place in the mid-sixteenth century, and the staroste Stanisław Dębiński, in order to restore the use of the castle, made only the most important renovation works. The destruction of the castle was done in the 17th century. In 1607, during the Zebrzydowski Rebellion, the fortress was burnt down and the armory plundered. The castle was plundered again in 1655 by the Swedes and their ally Prince George Rákóczi in 1657. The stronghold ceased to be the residence of starosts and was abandoned in 1707 after its subsequent devastation by the Swedes.

After these events, the castle was abandoned. The castle cannons fired for the last time in 1787 to the cheers of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski entering the city. Since then, the walls of the medieval stronghold have served the local residents as a source of building materials.

During World War I, the ruins were used by the Russian army. Then, as a result of Austrian artillery fire, the towers were seriously damaged. In the interwar period, minor conservation works were not able to stop the destruction of the castle.

During World War II, a threat to the castle was the exploitation of stone from Góra Zamkowa to obtain building material for roads in the General Government. The exploitation was stopped, which saved the castle walls from collapsing. After World War II, the ruins of the castle are reconstructed (inter alia, in the years 1948 -1949 - towers, 1959 - 1960 - walls).

The Royal Castle in Chęciny, Poland (part 1)

It was erected on the ridge of a rocky hill (367 meters above sea level) probably at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, on the initiative of Wenceslaus II, the king of the Czech Republic and Poland.

The first mention of the castle comes from 1306 and concerns the granting of a stronghold by Łokietek to the bishop of Muskata together with eleven surrounding villages. This privilege was revoked and the castle, together with the emerging town, became the center of princely and then royal power. At the beginning, it covered only the present eastern part - two round towers with a wall in the shape of a polygon similar to a rectangle in the terrain matching the relief.

The castle in Chęciny played an important role: the king often visited the castle and congresses of the knights were held in the years 1310, 1318, 1331, 1333. In 1318 - in fear of the Teutonic Knights - the treasury of the Archdiocese of Gniezno was deposited here. Several years later, in June 1331, in Chęciny, the king’s son was appointed governor of Wielkopolska. Equal laws, courts, and coinage were also introduced as an expression of the unification of the country. It was decided to join the war with the Teutonic Knights, and after the congress, the Polish knights moved to Płowce. This event is regarded as the beginning of Polish parliamentarism.

During the reign of Casimir the Great, the castle became the seat of the city starosts and the residence of royal families. The king extended the castle with a residential building on the north side and a forearm, which was later added to the chapel.

The gate tower of the Ojców Castle, Poland

The ruins of Ojcow Castle lie on top of a 36-meter-high rock, in the middle of the Prądnik Valley.

The castle was erected by Casimir the Great, and a legend says that the name castrum Oczec was created in honor of his father Wladyslaw Lokietek, who once found a hiding place from enemy armies near Ojcow.

Originally, the castle consisted of an octagonal tower of ultimate defense perched on rocks towering above the rest of the hill, a perimeter of walls encircling the hill irregularly along its edge, and a quadrangular gate tower attached to the rocks at the foot of the donjon. A dwelling house was built along the eastern section of the perimeter walls. The promontory was cut off from the rest of the hill by a deep ditch, over which a drawbridge was thrown.

In 1400 the castle was pawned by Wladyslaw Jagiello. Subsequent starosts were representatives of many wealthy families, including the Szafraniec, Boner, Myszkowski and Korycin families.

During the Swedish Deluge, the invaders probably seized the castle without a fight and arranged it as a weapons and food warehouse.

After the partition of Poland at the end of the 18th century, the castle began to be neglected and fell into disrepair, eventually the inhabitants abandoned it in 1826.

At present, the gate tower, octagonal tower, the base of the walls of the southern building and remnants of the perimeter walls are preserved here. A well is also preserved in the courtyard.
