Termoli is a city with a population of about 32.000, located in Molise, since 1970 the newest region in Italy. Termoli was a Lombard county until the arrival of the Normans, under which it flourished and expanded. The architecture of the Castello Svevo is characterized by great simplicity, without any ornamentation, and its defensive features indicate that it was built in the Norman period (11th century) near a pre-existing Lombard tower. However, it is defined as Swabian after the restructuring and fortification commissioned by Frederick II of Swabia in 1240, following the damage caused by an attack by the Venetian fleet. Due to its location, it was the hub of a larger defense system that consisted of a sturdy wall that surrounded the entire perimeter of the city.
