Storia comune di Torremaggiore provincia di Foggia
The place name probably comes from the original tower of the castle. During the fight between papacy and Manfred (Frederick II’s son) Dragonara and Fiorentino, two medieval villages, were destroyed. Thus the survivors villagers built up the currently town of Torremaggiore. In 1295 Knights Templar ruled the town and when this order was abolished the town was under Anjous, Aragoneses and Borbouns until the Unification of Italy. From 70’s the Torremaggiore started a great development in growing and producing wine and in olive oil producing.
