The construction of Castle del Monte lasted for a decade. It is believed that the castle was designed as a hunting cottage at the beginning. However, several sources suggest that in 1249 the castle was used as a theatre when the wedding of Violante, Fredericks daughter, took place. In 1256, it was used as a prison by Frederick IIs son.The structure of the castle is on an octagonal(八边形的) plan completed by eight towers, one in each corner. The main walls of the castle are 25 meters high and the towers are 26 meters high. The center of the castle has a beautiful courtyard with eight sides. It is believed that the octagon is a symbol representing the union of the earth and the sky.Several scholars guess that the castle had been designed by the Emperor himself and was constructed by local workers. But it is certain that there is no drawbridge or moat(护城河), which suggests that the castle was not built for a defensive purpose at all although most castles in Italy were built for the military(军事的) purpose.By the 18th century, the castle had been badly damaged. Originally, the building was characterized by beautiful marble columns and walls, but most of them have vanished over the years. Later on, the castle fell into ruins and was abandoned for a very long time. At last , it was purchased by the local government in 1876, but the repair work only began in 1928.Even with its colorful history, Castle del Monte is considered to be one of the best castles in Apulia.
