Castello Federiciano in Calabria, Italy, perched dramatically on a rocky cliff above the Ionian Sea, originally built by the Normans in the 11th century and later rebuilt in the 13th under Frederick II.

Frederick II (1194–1250), also known as "Stupor Mundi" ("Wonder of the World") was one of the most powerful and influential rulers of the Medieval Ages.
