Discover the most significant medieval monument in southern Italy, built by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia, with a guided tour of Castel del Monte.

Built on a hill in the territory of Andria, it offers commanding views over Puglia. Its perfectly geometric structure, with an octagonal plan and eight octagonal towers, makes Castel del Monte a unique example of medieval architecture. Explore the myths and legends of the monument, including the symbolic meaning of the number 8, often associated with the balance between heaven and earth.

After years of neglect, the castle was restored by the Italian state in 1876 and later declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the perfection of its form and the harmonious fusion of cultural elements from Northern Europe, the Islamic world, and classical antiquity.

During the visit, explore the façades, interiors, and central courtyard, discovering the history and meaning behind one of the most fascinating symbols of the Italian Middle Ages.
