Castel del Monte and Barletta tour includes a visit of the beautiful castle built by Frederick II and the city protagonist of the famous “Challenge of Barletta”.

We will visit Castel del Monte, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996 and is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Southern Italy. Castel del Monte was built by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in the 13th century. Castel del Monte is a successful blend of elements from classical antiquity, the Islamic Orient and north European Cistercian Gothic. Then we will visit Barletta, the city famous for the “Challenge of Barletta” in 1503, and its medieval cathedral of S.Maria Maggiore and the Castle of Barletta, the symbol of the city. The tour will proceed to the Basilica of the Santo Sepolcro, whose name bears witness to the fact that for many years crusaders on their way to the Holy Land passed through and embarked from Barletta and one of the most surprising attractions of the city, the so-called “Colossus of Barletta”, a gigantic bronze statue 4.5 m tall from the 5th century A.D.,
