A unique piece of medieval architecture, it was completed in 1240. The castle\u2019s location, its perfect octagonal shape, as well as the mathematical and astronomical precision of its layout all reflect the broad education and cultural vision of its founder, Emperor Frederick II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a leader of modern humanism, the Germanic Emperor brought scholars together in his court from throughout the Mediterranean, combining Eastern and Western traditions. The castle\u2019s unique design, an octagonal plan with octagonal towers at each angle, represents a search for perfection. Interior features reflect Eastern influences, such as the innovative hydraulic installation used by Frederick II for bathing in accord to the typical Arabic customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site is of outstanding universal value in its formal perfection and its harmonious blending of cultural elements from northern Europe, the Muslim world and classical antiquity. Castel del Monte is a unique masterpiece of medieval architecture, reflecting the humanist ideas of its founder, Frederick II of Hohenstaufen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Castel del Monte, located in the municipality of Andria, rises on a rocky hill dominating the surrounding countryside [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7966,"parent":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tipologia":[119],"filter":[152,143,127,144,145,146,161,299,164,160,296,126,141],"filter-elements":[],"class_list":["post-8375","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-sites","filter-1996-en","filter-criteria","filter-cultural","filter-i-en","filter-ii-en","filter-iii-en","filter-italy","filter-monumental-complex","filter-puglia-en","filter-region","filter-specific-definition","filter-type","filter-date-of-inscription"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
