Castel del Monte is a 13th-century citadel and castle situated on a hill in Andria in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. It was built during the 1240s by King Frederick II, who had inherited the lands from his mother Constance of Sicily.

It gives me Arabic vibes. Or maybe Persian - if it weren’t for the trees, I would never think “Italy”.
What was the purpose of the castle? It seems small to have a fairly large interior courtyard.
Beautiful and bleak, like brutalism come early.
