Imposing castle recognizable from afar with its tower of the Giants, favorite residence of Frederick II.

This imposing castle is recognizable from afar by its "torre dei Giganti" (tower of the giants), a Swabian heritage. Built in 838 and enlarged by the Normans, the castle was one of the favourite residences of Frederick II, who settled there with his beloved Bianca Lancia and his children, Costanza, Violante and Manfredi. In the time of the Angevins, the castle became a military fortress and a state prison. It is said that the queen of Naples, Joanna I of Anjou, was imprisoned there and died in 1382. Since 1907 the building has been the property of the town hall of Monte Sant'Angelo.

Chateau : oui mais, ...
Nous avons visité la ville le matin, on s'est perdu dans les ruelles, les églises, ... on arrive au château juste avant la fermeture de midi, ... Pas grave, il rouvre à 14H30, on va manger à notre aise, un petit café avant d'y retourner, rencontre d'un italien qui nous raconte sa vie en français et nous revoilà au château ! Sauf qu'il est fermé ! plus aucun marquage, fermé ! Dommage ! Ne vous fier pas aux heures indiquées dans les guides !
