Castel del Monte is a stunning 13th-century citadel located in the Apulia region of Italy. Built by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, the castle is renowned for its unique octagonal shape and architectural precision, which blends elements of classical antiquity, the Islamic world, and north European Cistercian Gothic styles. Perched on a hill, the structure offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
