The Castle of Stilo or Norman Castle is a castle of the Norman period built at Stilo, Calabria in southern Italy by Roger II of Sicily upon Monte Consolino in the 11th century. == History == The first reference to the Norman castle at Stilo is from May 7, 1093 in a concession act of Comte Roger to Saint Bruno: "elegerunt itaque quondam solitudinis locum inter locum qui dicitur Arena et oppidum quod appelatur Stilum".〔"La storia di Stilo e del suo regio demanio of Luigi Cunsolo, p52>〕 In the 13th century, it was one of the seventeen castles in Calabria managed by Reale Curia during the reign of Charles I of Naples and it was also used as a prison. In that period, it was subjected to maintenance as written in folio 233 of 1281 of Regia Zecca Archive. In the registry of April 14, 1323, it was written that Duke of Calabria, son of King Robert give to Noble, Contestabile, Baron of Settingiano Marco the "Castellania of Stilo" (ruling the Castle of Stilo) to him and his descents. Since 2009 the castle has been under restoration. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castle of Stilo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
