Frederick II Tower, Medieval tower in Enna, Italy.
The octagonal stone tower rises high above the surrounding landscape, featuring Gothic architectural elements and sturdy defensive walls that define its silhouette.
Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, ordered the construction of this military fortress in the 13th century as part of his network of strategic defenses.
The tower represents the architectural innovations of Frederick II's reign, combining military functionality with elements from both Gothic and Arab building traditions.
Visitors can reach the tower by following the marked path from Enna's center, with guided tours available from March through October.
The tower's position at 1,029 meters above sea level made it an effective surveillance point, allowing guards to monitor movements across central Sicily.
