At the beginning of the fourteenth century the Saracen colony in Apulia had ceased to exist.
Grand and savage as is the Castle of Lucera, it is far surpassed in beauty and dignity by the Castel del Monte, erected by Frederick on the summit of one of the low hills called the Murgie, not far from the town of Andria. Dominating the bare undulating country for many miles around, in its majesty, originality and isolation, it is symbolic of the strange personality of its imperial founder.
A Norman to...wer, as some will have it, may have existed on the spot, but the actual fabric is clearly no SOME SWABIAN AND NORMAN CASTLES 107 restoration or enlargement, but the creation of a single epoch and a single mind. The plan is said to have been traced by the emperor himself. He showed great interest in the building, and in a letter dated at Gubbio, January 1240, directed the justiciary of the Capitanata to lend the builders all the assistance in his power.
There is a legend that one of the messengers sent to report on the progress of the work was ensnared by the charms of a lady at Melfi, and lingered there till summoned back by the emperor.
