Castello Svevo of Rocca Imperiale, 13th-century Swabian castle in Rocca Imperiale, Italy.
The castle stands on a hilltop overlooking the Gulf of Taranto, featuring defensive walls, towers, and strategic military architecture from medieval times.
Emperor Frederick II ordered the construction of this fortress in the 1200s to protect the southern territories and establish control over the Gulf of Taranto.
The castle serves as a center for arts events, opera performances, and exhibitions that connect visitors with the medieval heritage of Calabria.
Guided tours provide access to multiple levels of the structure, including recently discovered underground passages and architectural elements from different periods.
Local citizens maintain keys to the castle and actively participate in preservation efforts, contributing to archaeological research and structural documentation.
