Castel del Monte
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Castel del Monte, was built in the middle of nowhere. With no town to protect, mountain pass to contest or river crossing to defend, it remains a supreme example of medieval military architecture and an absolute enigma yet today. Its architecture is a mixture of classical antiquity, Islamic, and European Gothic styles.
