Castel del Monte is one of the most famous and at the same time most mysterious medieval castles in the world. It stands on a high hill, near the city of Andria, and literally towers over the surrounding landscape. It is from this location that the name of the fortress comes, which is translated from Italian as "castle on the mountain" or Mountain Castle.
