Original - The Castel del Monte in an UNESCO World Heritage Site in Southern Italy, featured on the reverse of the Italian-issue 1 Euro cent coin. It has been built by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II between 1240 and 1250.

Reason

Very nice image of an important building, with only a few technical issues. Good lighting makes it look good at standard or thumbnail size. Adds great value to the articles it illustrates. The high resolution provides detailed information about the building.

• Weak support Good resolution, better than other pictures we have. Would be full support if I didn't feel that the way the walls seem to lean outward looks a bit unnatural. --JN466 22:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
• Support -- very good contrast. - Theirrulez (talk) 14:55, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
