Castel del Monte
Protected as a World Heritage site, the image of Castel del Monte appears on the Italian version of the one-cent euro coin. When the castle was built in the 13th century, the fertile region would have made a comfortable lodge for emperors. However, the structure was most likely used as a citadel. The interior has been looted and vandalized, and some of the marble columns and other features ended up in the Bourbon family's royal houses. You can visit the wineries in the wine country around the castle, which produces limited-production barrels of Riserva.

The architecture of the castle is very impressive from the outside. Interviews from The Hill are equally impressive. Going on the torch itself a lot of the rooms are very similar to one another and it's simply just the skeleton of the castle There's no fixtures adornments furniture anything in the castle at all So after you see a rumor too it looks kind of the same. This would be a much better experience if they were to try to replicate some of the items that may have been found in the castle at the time and do a better job at restoring some of the areas. It's not a bad visit, but it's definitely one that I wouldn't go out of my way to go see.

The castle is beautiful on the outside. The views from the hill are breathtaking. The inside is nothing special - the walls are completely bare, there's literally nothing inside, every single room there looks the same, not everything is available for the public - it isn't worth paying the 7 euro for a ticket to enter.
