Il castello misterioso - The mysterious castle

            Che cosa si celerà mai all’interno di quel castello sulla sommità del monte?
In realtà, nonostante l’aspetto un po’ tetro anche per via del cielo plumbeo, questo castello è una rinomata attrazione turistica del Baden-Wurttemberg (Germania): si tratta di Burg Hohenzollern, un castello appartenuto e fatto costruire dalla nobile famiglia prussiana degli Hohenzollern, che visse qui dall'Alto Medioevo alla Prima guerra mondiale. 
Il castello si trova sulla sommità del Monte Hohenzollern ad un'altitudine di 855 metri: fu costruito originariamente nella prima parte dell'XI secolo, ma il castello così come lo vediamo oggi risale alla seconda metà dell’800.

Which mistery will be kept inside that castle on the top of the hill?
In reality, in spite of the dismal aspect due also to the cloudy sky, this castle is a well know touristic place in Baden-Wurttemberg region (Germany): it is Burg Hohenzollern, a castle built by the homonymous family which lived here from Middle Age till the First World War. 
The caste dates back to the XI century, but what we see today is the result of restorations/rebuilding done in the second half of XIX century.
