Then you are there, that castle watches over all the greenery that surrounds it, the light stone shines even if illuminated by a faint beam of light on a rainy day and you think:<em> &#8221; yes&#8230; this place is really magical, I wasn&#8217;t wrong.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As we drove through, narrow streets lined with immense fields where it is not difficult to see wild boars, we see it: here it is, it looks like a great crown.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at its feet, the castle almost looks like a sacred temple, a place of knowledge and secrets, a building that collects advanced discoveries of astronomy and mathematics and that mixes religion and science, sacred and profane.<\/p>\n<p>We are enchanted by its beauty, its majesty. So big as to leave anyone breathless and surrounded by a slight haze, it makes the heart tremble. At his feet a respectful silence, almost as if all of us curious had mutinied in the face of this construction, a silence that tastes of admiration and also of awe.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12394\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.beboheme.com\/en\/castel-del-monte-andria-travel-blogger\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?fit=1920%2C1280&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"castel del monte andria travel blogger\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;castel del monte andria &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12394\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=1100%2C733&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"castel del monte andria\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=750%2C500&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=1050%2C700&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1356.jpg?resize=1170%2C780&amp;ssl=1 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t stop looking at it, you can&#8217;t not have your head up until you come in.

Rather it presents a mix of very different artistic cultures: Romanesque, Gothic style, classical style and even oriental-style mosaics.<\/p>\n<p>For its location, for its beauty and for its structure it was also a prison, a holiday resort for nobles and a shelter for brigands. Today, owned by the Italian State, it hosts important exhibitions and events but it is above all yet another pride of our Peninsula and yet another treasure of our humanity: today <strong>Castel del Monte<\/strong> is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and in 2015 it was among the most visited sites in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever story you want to believe, whether you want to think or not that there is something magical in Castel del Monte, visit it. Take your children with you, take a walk on Sundays or if you choose to spend your holidays in the South and in beautiful Puglia, do not miss it. Whether you&#8217;re interested in history, art, astronomy or architecture, and even if you don&#8217;t feel an interest in any of these disciplines, it doesn&#8217;t matter. When we tell you that you will miss your breath, when we tell you that suddenly you will lose your words in the face of its majesty is not to convince you but to prepare you for one of the most spectacular encounters of your life, a meeting that you will remember forever: the encounter with beauty, the one of which our Italy is full.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12460\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12460\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12460\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.beboheme.com\/en\/castel-del-monte-andria-panorama-dallalto\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?fit=1920%2C1280&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"castel del monte andria view from above\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;sospesi nel nulla ai pedi di castel del monte andria&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12460\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=1100%2C733&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"castel del monte andria view from above\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=750%2C500&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=1050%2C700&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_1420-2.jpg?resize=1170%2C780&amp;ssl=1 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">sospesi nel nulla ai pedi di castel del monte andria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Castel del Monte<\/strong> is open to the <strong>public every day<\/strong> from<strong> 9:00 am to 6:30 pm,<\/strong>until April.
