The most important monument of Ginosa is the Castello Normanno . It was built in 1080 by Robert Guiscard to defend the city from the invasions of Saracen troops.
Originally the castle was adorned by three towers and a drawbridge, all destroyed during the 16th century, when the town became a barony of the Doria family. The castle subsequently became a residential palace and also today overlooks the most ancient area of the town.
The castle is also part of the commune's coat of arms.
