In the heart of Puglia is hidden the most important monument of the Middle Ages in Italy, a treasure of beauty and mystery to explore.
Castel del Monte was built on top of a hill where you can see a good part of the Puglia Region and the cities of the coast with a beautiful landscape.
Castel del Monte is certainly the most important building that has left the Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen of Swabia, full of mysteries not fully revealed.
At the base of its construction there is always the number 8.
After many years of neglect, during which the castle was stripped of furniture and decorations of marble, has become a refuge for shepherds, brigands and political refugees.
In 1876 the castle was bought and restored by the Italian state.
In 1996 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage for the perfection of its shape and the harmonious union of cultural elements from northern Europe, the Islamic world and classical antiquity and because it represented the personality of its creator Frederick II Hohenstaufen.
The tour you will discover the exteriors and interiors of the 'castle' and describe the secrets of the historical context in which it was built.
Tour was a good picture of Switzerland with a combination of cities, villages, and mountains. The dip into Italy was nice for a chance of pace and scenery.
Our group was phenomenal. Our guide, Vili, did a wonderful job of creating a cohesive group that was supportive, friendly, and fun.
The Matterhorn had to be the best experience. Our time there was clear weather and just a very light snow…perfect.
Sardinia is a showcase of classic Mediterranean beauty with turquoise seas, pale-gold sands and dramatic rock formations. But with an adventurous spirit and the best tour leader around, you’ll experience its natural wonders from angles most never reach. Staying at a family-run hotel in the Dorgali area, we hike the mighty Gorropu Gorge, cycle through pinewoods to a golden beach (barbecue included), and kayak along the coast to discover sea coves and secret grottoes. Pack your sense of adventure, leave the rest to Sardinia and your tour leader.
