Description
Castel del Monte in Abruzzo is a beautiful village which covers the top of a hill in the Gran Sasso mountain range. It is classified as one of the "borghi piu belli d'Italia" or "most beautiful villages of Italy". Its architecture mostly dates to Medieval and Renaissance times. The Medicis ruled the town from 1579 for a century and a half and their legacy includes the Chiesa di San Marco with its distinctive tower. Around the town are strong defensive walls which are also houses and five defensive gates which also date to the Medici period.
