Audio tour · Castel del Monte

2:15

You're standing at Castel del Monte, the Castle of the Mountain, on a hilltop about five hundred and forty metres high in Apulia. Look at its shape. Everything here is octagonal. The castle itself is an octagon, there's an eight-sided tower at every corner, and inside is an eight-sided courtyard. None of its builder's other castles looks anything like it.
