Discover Castel del Monte (UNESCO) - 2 Hour Guided Tour

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.

Finally, sit down for another tasting of this nectar of the gods and enjoy its persistent flavors. We always choose to visit small and medium sized wineries that work in harmony with the surrounding nature, whether certified organic or not. We believe that they make premium wines that are richer in character and more difficult to find elsewhere, often more interesting and pleasant than the simpler and more mass-produced wines made by larger wineries.
