Departure at 09.00 am from Petruzzelli Theatre of Bari, destination Castel del Monte about an hour's drive from Bari.
Castel del Monte is the most important castel of Puglia, it stands lonely on a hill in the National Park of Alta Murgia, 540 metres above sea level, it's an octagonal and mysterious building of Swabian Emperor Frederick II, included in the world heritage protected by Unesco. This fascinating castel, famous for its evocative power and for its amazing history, is an absolute must for visitors who love medieval architecture, art and legends!
Departure for Trani where we will arrive after about half an hour.
Walking tour in Trani: the origins of this elegant town are lost in legend: probably founded in the time of Aeneas, Trani is the city of white stone and the lighthouse of Judaism in Italy. The old quarter rises around the port on a small peninsula where a grandiose cathedral overlooks the sea, like a big ship and in fact, due to its superb location, is called the Queen of Apulian Cathedrals! One hour free time for lunch or shopping.
At 3.00 pm departure from Trani to return to Bari after about 1 hour.
