Castello Belvedere, Medieval castle in Fiumedinisi, Italy
The pentagonal fortress stands at 750 meters above sea level on a rocky cliff, with external walls and a central watchtower overlooking the Ionian Sea.
The castle dates back to the 12th century during the Norman period, and in 1197 it witnessed the death of Emperor Henry VI after a hunting expedition.
The Colonna Romano family maintained ownership of the castle from 1392 until 1900 when Duke Giovanni Antonio donated it to the municipality of Fiumedinisi.
Recent restoration works in 2006 included the addition of wooden railings along the paved path and information panels for visitors exploring the structure.
The fortress contains a deep cistern, defensive walls with patrol walkways, and arrow slits that medieval archers used to protect the stronghold.
