Archivio della Resistenza e della Memoria

The Archivio della Resistenza e della Memoria (Archives of Resistance and Memory) in Barletta is an ongoing archival project, cataloguing and making available to the public wartime records of the city’s experience during the Second World War. Specific areas of publicized documentation include resistance to German and fascist occupation from 1943-45, records of local military and civilian executions and unmarked graves, and testimonies from local witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust.    

The Archives is located within the Castello di Barletta, a Norman castle constructed in the 15th century which houses the larger Barletta Civic Museum. The Archives were opened to the public for the first time on January 27, 2001.
