Castel of Lagopesole, Medieval castle and archaeological museum in Avigliano, Italy
The rectangular castle contains two distinct courtyards and features a prominent tower constructed with Swabian architectural masonry ashlar techniques.
Frederick II initiated the castle's expansion in 1242, incorporating elements from Norman-Swabian military structures and later Angevin residential designs.
The castle functions as both a military museum and an archaeological museum, displaying regional artifacts that document the evolution of medieval life.
The castle maintains seasonal hours, operating from 9:30 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 during summer months, with adjusted winter timing.
The castle's Romanesque chapel stands as the only remaining example of religious architecture from the imperial period among Frederick II's fortifications.
