Los Orígenes De La Domus Prioral De Barletta, Situada En Una Explanada EL PRIORATO DE BARLETTA Los orígenes de la domus prioral de Barletta, situada en una explanada apenas fuera de los muros de la ciudad, se remontan a poco después del siglo XII sustituyendo a la de Bari, demolida tras la rebelión de 1156. Aunque ya en ruinas en 1399, permaneció activa hasta 1528, cuando fue destruida por los franceses capitaneados por Renzo de Ceri. Fue transferida al interior de los muros de la ciudad, donde permaneció hasta la mitad del siglo XVI, cuando fue trasladada definitivamente a la iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, que más tarde fue embellecida por los priores Fray Tommaso Castromediano, De Giovanni y Piccolomini con un campanario en el que hicieron poner las armas de la Orden. En la sacristía se celebraban las reuniones de la Asamblea prioral. Entre las reliquias, conservaba un fragmento de la cruz de Jesús. Adosado a la iglesia, se encontraba el Hospital de los peregrinos, propiedad de la Orden y asistido por los Caballeros. Entre los distintos bienes, el Priorato tenía diversos territorios que le procuraban una renta más que conspicua: los dos Bailiajes de SAN ESTEBAN y de la SANTÍMA TRINIDAD DE VENOSA; la encomienda magistral, es decir reservada al Gran Maestre, de MARUGGIO; la encomienda de SAN JUAN DE TROIA, una de las más antiguas propiedades de la Orden, citada por primera vez en la bula del papa Lucio III en 1182 en la que concede a la Orden las iglesias del Santo Sepulcro de Troia y la de Santa Maria de Balneo; la encomienda de SAN JUAN Y SAN ESTEBAN DE MELFI; la encomienda de GRASSANO, cuyos orígenes se remontan al siglo XIV, tenía una casa comendaticia con jardín, bodega con nevera, cuatro grutas y una zona de vegetación boscosa llamada la Padula; la encomienda de SANTA MARÍA DE PICCIANO DE MATERA la encomienda de MOLFETTA Y TERLIZZI, nacida en 1199 con una donación realizada al Hospital de Bari por un cierto Giovanni Terlizzi la encomienda de SAN PRIMIANO DE LARINO; la encomienda de SAN JUAN DE MONOPOLI, que tomaba su nombre de la iglesia de San Juan existente antes del 1350 en Monopoli; la encomienda de SANTA CATALINA DE BARI, RUVO Y BITONTO, constituida en 1768 precisamente de la unión de santa Catalina de Bari, de Ruvo y Bitonto; la encomienda de NARDÒ, formada por olivares en la zona de Lequile y de viñedos en Corsano; la encomienda de FOGGIA, formada por diversas propiedades en el territorio del Tavoliere de Apulia, era zona de paso de los rebaños provenientes de los Abruzos; la encomienda de SAN JUAN DE BARLETTA Y DEL SANTO SEPULCRO DE BRINDISI; las encomiendas de POZZO MONACO y de TORRETTA DE BARLETTA, desmembradas por el Priorato en junio 1780, constituidas ambas por dos casas de labor con los correspondientes terrenos y ganado; la encomienda de TORRE DE LAMA, casa de labor en territorio de Foggia, desmembrada por el Priorato en 1786 las encomiendas de PUTIGNANO LA MAYOR Y LA MENOR; la encomienda de SAN GUIDO DE CASAMASSIMI, fundada entre 1760 y 1770 por Guidotto Maria Casamassimi; la encomienda de LIZZANO, fundada en junio de 1771 por la noble familia Chyurlia, estaba reservada al primogénito o representante de la familia con ancianidad en la Orden y, en caso de vacante, era administrada por el jefe de la familia o por el Recibidor de Barletta; y, para terminar, el CANON DE LOS BIENES DE NOLA, de los que era titular Fray Cesare de Ildaris desde 1776 por gracia magistral del Gran Maestre de Rohan. ALGUNAS NOTAS DE ARCHIVO En el Fondo Cabreos, se conservan en torno a cincuenta mss, entre cabreos y mejoras, relacionados con algunas propiedades de la Orden de Malta en las regiones de Apulia y Basilicata, datados entre 1599 y 1804. Se trata en la mayor parte, de volúmenes de tamaño medio, cuyo texto se encuentra en latín y en italiano, decorado con ilustraciones de colores realizadas por dibujantes o agrimensores reales cuyos nombres podemos leer entre las líneas de las primeras páginas de cada volumen. Los documentos, ahora todos en formato digital, se pueden consultar en los Archivos de la Orden en Roma, con cita previa o se pueden comprar poniéndose en contacto en la dirección de correo electrónico: [email protected]. .

  • The Priory of Barletta
    THE PRIORY OF BARLETTA The prioral domus of Barletta, situated on a flat area just outside the city walls, was founded shortly after the middle of the 12th century as replacement for that in Bari, which had been demolished following the rebellion of 1156. Though already in ruins by 1399, it remained active until 1528, the year in which it was destroyed by French troops led by Renzo de Ceri. Having been moved inside the city walls, it remained there until the mid-16th century, when it was transported to its present location in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The priors, Fra’ Don Tommaso Castromediano, De Giovanni, and Piccolomini, later embellished it with a bell tower, which they adorned with the coat of arms of the Order. Meetings of the Prioral Assembly were held in the Sacristy. Among the relics conserved was a fragment of the Cross of Jesus. Attached to the church was the Pilgrims' Hospital, owned by the Order and was served by the Knights. The Priory’s assets included several landholdings which supplied it with a very substantial income: the two Bailiwicks of SANTO STEFANO and SS. TRINITÀ DI VENOSA; the Magistral commandery, reserved for the Grand Master, of MARUGGIO; the commandery of SAN GIOVANNI DI TROIA, one of the most ancient properties of the Order, was first mentioned in the Bull of Pope Lucius III of 1182, which granted the Order the Church of the Holy Sepulchre of Troia and the Church of Santa Maria di Balneo; the commandery of SS GIOVANNI E STEFANO DI MELFI; the commandery of GRASSANO, the origin of which dates

It hides a whole bunch of emotions, slowly disclosing for the attentive tourist. Carried away by the light, the gaze is captured by the church of S.Domenico’s rose window, and a few steps afterwards by the impressive Cathedral façade. The herbal aromas coming from the traditional fisherman’s dishes will please the smell. The rhythmical hammering of the calatafari will lead the ear to the old dockyard, where the expert hands of the shipwrights have been building artfully fishing boats for centuries. By then you will be arrived in front of the sea. Intensely blue, rich and inviting. That sea offers its fruits to those who love it and know its tempers; it skirts the long golden beaches where one can lean and enjoy a kindly sun. At the sunset, a rosemary flavoured breeze crosses a thousand-year-old tree row: olive trees twisted by the time, reminding the traveller that a few hundreds of meters away, at the bottom of the Murgia hills, an industrious and silent farming community work passionately the red Apulian terrain to produce oil, wine and vegetables. Their hands are strong and callused, they value their work, they repeat all along the same simple gestures, in the shadow of fortified masserie, they transform milk in tasty cheeses and press superfine oil under slow, turning millstones.
