Castello Svevo, Medieval fortress in Porto Recanati, Italy.

The castle forms a large quadrilateral structure with a principal tower on the eastern side, facing the Adriatic Sea, and includes defensive walls.

Frederick II of Swabia granted permission to build the castle in 1229, establishing a strategic defensive position against maritime invasions on the Adriatic coast.

The Municipal Art Gallery on the first floor exhibits a collection assembled by Attilio Moroni, former rector of the University of Macerata.

The castle houses the Beniamino Gigli arena in its courtyard, which serves as a venue for performances and events during summer months.

The original square tower was transformed into an octagonal structure, while a semicircular tower was added to the southwest corner in 1400.
