    The organizer canceled my excursion on November 10 because he found another job... we were told that we had to take a taxi. We tried the buses but with the clock ticking and city buses not being reliable (1 hour after the scheduled pickup time, still nothing, a telephone number that doesn't work...), we called taxis, which were not available until almost dark. We are frustrated not to have seen this monument because it is the only organizer who provides transportation from the city. Finally; we went to Trani by bus, little consolation. I am waiting for the refund.

    Alessandro è stato la nostra guida, molto preparato e simpatico, ci ha accompagnato nel nostro giro per alle cave di Bauxite. Consiglio: meglio pantaloni lunghi a causa dei rovi lungo io percorso!

    Consigliato! Alessandro possiede una profonda conoscenza del territorio, di usi e costumi locali e antiche tradizioni andate ormai perdute. Tra boschi, campi che si perdono a vista d'occhio, alberi secolari, spiagge, rocche, castelli, gravine, cave, grotte, tratturi, antiche masserie e torri la Puglia offre scorci inaspettati, panorami inesplorati e tanta, tanta storia. Lasciatevi guidare e non perdete di vista il gruppo!

    Castel del Monte

    An octagonal stone crown. Fascinating and mysterious. Isolated on a hill in the Murge, 540 meters above sea level from where a vast panorama is dominated. The gaze sweeps west to the highest peaks of the entire karst plateau, and east to the Cathedral of Trani, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, and a little further on, the Gargano promontory. Commissioned in 1240 by the Swabian Emperor Frederick II. Subsequently, the building took on the roles of prison and ducal residence. Passed through various dominations and properties of different lords, for a long time, after repeated looting and plundering, it was a refuge for shepherds and robbers (especially in the 18th century). Purchased as a ruin by the Italian state in 1876 for 25,000 lire, it has since undergone continuous restorations; the most recent have recovered its ancient splendor. Since 1996, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
