Fiorentino, Medieval castle ruin near Torremaggiore, Italy
The remains of Castel Fiorentino stand on a fortified hill, featuring Norman architecture with remnants of towers and stone walls.
Emperor Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire spent his final days at Castel Fiorentino, where he died on December 13, 1250.
The castle's marble decorations and architectural elements were later integrated into churches and houses throughout Torremaggiore.
Visitors can examine the remaining structures, including two preserved chimneys, herringbone floors, and arches with barrel vaults.
A commemorative stone marker was placed at the ruins in 2000 to mark the 750th anniversary of Emperor Frederick II's death.
