The location, the mathematical and astronomical precision of its layout and its perfect shape reflect the symbolic ambition which inspired Emperor Frederick II when he built this southern Italian castle in the 13th century. A unique piece of medieval military architecture, Castle del Monte is a completely successful blending of classical antiquity, the Islamic Orient and northern European Cistercian Gothic.
