Trail Reviews
"The Castel del Monte (originally castrum Sancta Maria de Monte) is a building from the time of the Staufer emperor Friedrich II. in Apulia in south-eastern Italy. The castle was built from 1240 to around 1250, but probably never completed. The interior design in particular is apparently not been finished. Castel del Monte has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 and has been featured on the reverse of the Italian 1 cent coin since 2001."

It's definitely worth a tour! Don't be annoyed if the parking costs €5: Shuttle bus to the castle is included and supervised! Entry is free on the first Sunday of the month.
Visited the widely visible Castel del Monte during a flyby
A great day trip to Castel del Monte. The castle is a building dating back to the time of Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick II in Apulia, southeastern Italy. The octagonal structure with its eight octagonal towers is characterized by the mystical significance of the number 8. The castle was built between 1240 and 1250. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
