Points of view refers to different ways of observing or interpreting a situation, event, or object. In practice, it's the perspective from which you look at something, influencing what you see and how you perceive it. The image shows one of the windows of Castel del Monte, a 13th-century fortress located in Puglia, near Andria. Architecture and Symbolism: The castle is famous for its unique, symmetrical architecture, based on the number eight, with an octagonal plan and eight octagonal towers at the corners. Construction and History: It was built by Frederick II of Swabia, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily, starting in 1240. Enigmatic Function: Although commonly called a castle, its exact function is still unknown, as it lacks the typical features of a military fortress or hunting lodge. UNESCO Heritage: Castel del Monte was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 for its architectural and historical value.
