Your Experience
Begin a journey through history at Castel del Monte, where Emperor Frederick II's vision comes to life atop a rocky hill in Andria. This castle, built under the orders of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, once served as a crucial link between Andria and Garagnone (near Gravina). Its design showcases mathematical precision with an emphasis on the number eight, smoothly integrating cultural influences from northern Europe, the Muslim world, and classical antiquity.
Explore the octagonal castle's 8 towers and 16 trapezoidal rooms—4 per floor—with cross-vaulted ceilings adorned by keystones featuring human figures, animals, and plants. Although many carvings are lost to time, what remains is fascinating. Discover the Falconer’s Tower with its unique corbels carved in human form and a fragment of a mosaic on the ground floor's eighth room.
