Castel del Monte(Italian:Castle of the Mount) is a 13th-century citadelandcastle situated in Andria in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It stands on a promontory, where it was constructed during the 1240s by the Emperor Frederick II, who had inherited the lands from his mother Constance of Sicily. In the 18th century, the castle’s interior marbles and remaining furnishings were removed. It has neither a moat nor a drawbridge and some considered it never to have been intended as a defensive fortress;however, archaeological work has suggested that it originally had a curtain wall. Described by the Enciclopedia Italiana as “the most fascinating castle built by Frederick II”, the site is protected as a World Heritage Site.

@Regrann from @thiago.lopez - Algumas escadas te levam ao paraíso e essa do canto esquerdo da foto é apenas uma delas! ☺️ Essa é uma praia de visita obrigatória para quem está em Puglia/ Salento. A água é maravilhosa mas eu confesso que ficava longos minutos admirando do alto a beleza dessa praia: Porto Miggiano! ☺️ ✨ ✨ #santacesarea #beach #praia #playa #plage #spiaggia #summer #estate #lecce #otranto #gallipoli #salento #bari #puglia #apulia #adriatic #croatia #greece #albania #montenegro #italia #italy (presso Santa Cesarea Terme)
Sono andato in vacanza in Puglia. Volevo tenere un diario di viaggio ma ero troppo impegnato a ingozzarmi.
(Disclaimer: chi dice “manca questo”, “manca quello” verrà abbattuto. Le pettole si mangiano solo a Natale, ma io le ho mangiate ad Agosto e non mi sono sentito granchè in colpa. Il resto lo mangio la prossima volta.)
