The imposing Castel del Monte is located on a hill of the Alta Murgia Plateau National Park and is widely visible from all sides. It is also on the 1 Euro cent coin. Castel del Monte is part of the municipality of Andria, which is only a few kilometres away. Andria was the favourite seat of the Swabian King Frederick II.
In addition to the Castel del Monte, there are other attractions in the Alta Murgia National Park.
