he Federiciano castle of Roseto Capo Spulico is a beautiful Norman-era manor overlooking the sea. It contains all the history and atmosphere of this corner of Calabria, which has always been in symbiosis with the waves. Its stones tell of past centuries but also the mystery of the Templars: you just need to pay a little attention to notice the alchemical symbols such as the rose and lilies engraved in its walls. An outpost of defense and suggestion, with a trapezoidal plan, a structural shape that matches perfectly with that of the Temple of Jerusalem. A mystical connection that fascinates visitors from all over the world. The castle of Frederick II of Swabia, the temple of the Templars There are many people who visit the center of Roseto Capo Spulico, famous for its beautiful castle, once known as Castrum Petrae Roseti. The majestic fortress overlooking the sea is one of the most picturesque views of Ionian Calabria, in the province of Cosenza, in the Upper Ionian Cosentino. One of the most interesting historical destinations, for its military past but above all for the suggestions and mysteries it contains. The castle was built on the ashes of an ancient place of pagan worship from the 10th century and was built at the behest of Prince Robert Guiscard between 1058 and 1085 with the name "Castrum Petrae Roseti", or "Rose Garden Castle". A place that bewitched Frederick II of Swabia, so much so that it became a sacred place for the emperor and king of Sicily who left important signs of his alchemical knowledge, closely connected with the Order of the Templars. What is fascinating about this ancient structure characterized by three towers, in addition to the suggestive position on the sea, are the architectural plan and the numerous allegories engraved on the stones, not only that, it is said that the cardinal points around the manor are clear references to the Holy City. Inside its walls, Omphale were found engraved with the signs of the Passion of Christ and the Seal of Solomon. It is also said that during the reign of Frederick II, between 1204 and 1253, the castle guarded the Holy Shroud. One of the most fascinating associations of this place is undoubtedly the plan of the structure which matches perfectly with that of the Temple of Jerusalem.
