<dc:title>Castel del Monte, Apulia</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Immovable Culture Heritage</dc:subject>
<dc:description>Castel del Monte, translated from Italian, means &quot;castle on a hill&quot;. Built in the 13th century by King Frederick II and said to be inspired by Greco-Roman architecture, it is located in the Apulia region of Italy and is protected as a World Heritage Site. It was also printed on the Italian version of the euro penny.

Throughout history, the castle has served not only as a hunting house for kings, a refuge in times of plague, and even as a prison for generals. Modern scholars disagree on whether to classify it as a cottage or a castle, though it has since been confirmed that it was a castle, as it originally had a curtain wall.

Because of the mathematical rules and beauty of its construction, it was once considered very mysterious by historians, and was the inspiration for Umberto Eco's novel The Name of the Rose.
