    Castel del Monte is a 13th century fortress built by Frederick II of Swabia, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and King of Sicily, on the top of a hill 540 meters above sea level in the western Murge plateau in Puglia. It is located in the homonymous fraction of the Italian municipality of Andria (BT), located 17 km from the city, near the town of Santa Maria del Monte.

      The well-known hunting lodge of Emperor Friedrich II is the most impressive medieval building in southern Italy and has been well preserved in its original form to this day. The fort is located high up on a hill and can be seen from afar. Frederick II
