🎧 Listen to Introduction
Emperor Frederick II built the castle near Bari in the 13th century, giving it symbolic significance, reflected in its location, its layout with mathematical and astronomical precision, and its perfectly regular shape. Castello del Monte is a unique medieval military building that successfully combines elements from the Classical period, the Islamic East, and the Northern European Cistercian Gothic.
