The octagonal crown of Castel del Monte, perched on a hill 540 meters above sea level, dominates the western Murge plateau. Built by Frederick II around 1240, this fortress is considered a brilliant example of medieval architecture and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996.

The number eight appears repeatedly in the design elements of the castle, and during the tour, you'll discover the significance of this pattern.

After two hours of exploring the castle, you'll bid farewell to your guide and exit the fortress.
