The architecture of the castle is very impressive from the outside. Interviews from The Hill are equally impressive. Going on the torch itself a lot of the rooms are very similar to one another and it's simply just the skeleton of the castle There's no fixtures adornments furniture anything in the castle at all So after you see a rumor too it looks kind of the same. This would be a much better experience if they were to try to replicate some of the items that may have been found in the castle at the time and do a better job at restoring some of the areas. It's not a bad visit, but it's definitely one that I wouldn't go out of my way to go see.

The castle is beautiful on the outside. The views from the hill are breathtaking. The inside is nothing special - the walls are completely bare, there's literally nothing inside, every single room there looks the same, not everything is available for the public - it isn't worth paying the 7 euro for a ticket to enter.

It's a bit of a hike (1.3 km) from the parking lot (5€, April 2023) but more than worth it. The castle itself is mightily impressive with its octagonal shape and 8 towers. For 7€ you can inside to marvel at the courtyard, the halls as well as the views through the windows of the top floor. Definitely a highlight of our roadtrip through Puglia.

A mysterious castle from the 12th century, build by Frederick II. Very impressive structure and nice view, however no furniture or anything else inside the building. Car park is 10 min walk downhill , close to a restaurant. No public transport available.

Beautiful monument, nice to view the sunset from the edges of the building. The first time I visited there was a restaurant on the walk up to the building, now it's almost lifeless besides the few people touring around.

Castel del Monte entrance is free the first Sunday of the month. Parking costs 5€ and the bus to go up costs 2€ (including the return). I suggest you ask for a guide since the castle is empty. Amazing view from the window! The landscape is full of olive trees!

A different kind of castle. Something you might want to check out. We went on a guided tour. But u need to take the bus to reach the castle. Beautiful view .

A nice place to visit. There's nothing in the castle, it's about the architecture. You'll find some Italian people trying to sell a guided tour.

We didn't do a guided tour. And I definitely missed information about the castle and the history. There is some of it inside in French, English and German, but I still had questions. From the outside it is an amazing castle. From the inside the castle is quite boring. It is always the same and they don't really give illustrations how it looked inside during its prime time. They play an artsy video without any information. I guess it showed stuff they found in and around the castle, but I'm not sure about it. In my opinion, it is too expensive. You also have to pay for the parking and if you want to use the bus you also need to pay a ticket for the ride. You can walk to the castle, though.

I can’t give any other review to this place than one star. It’s such a disapointmemt. Firstly, the castle opens to the public at 9am, but there ane NO toilets available before 10am for no understandable reason. Secondly, visual aids at the castle are extremely lazy, the lack of information about the place that truely seems exceptional because of its purpose and unsual location is just shockingly depreciating. The interiors are almost completely empty with very few information written. Thirdly, because of these reasons it’s way overpriced, once you add the ticket, the parking fee. Views from the inside are not worth buying the ticket. A beautiful tourist trap.

A completely well-proportioned castle. Entry is free unless you go inside.

A beautiful castle. Nothing much inside and you can’t go on the top of roof like the movie scene. The ticket for€ 10 per person a bit expensive! Plus the parking €5 for a car.

It was disappointing! The view from around the castle was astounding (two stars for it) but the castle itself? Just walls, no information (only one small board at the entrance), no objects they maybe found there, nothing! You pay 10€ to see blank walls! For us even the second floor was closed and we could not have the view from the roof, awful! Some more informations; try to drive the street to the top and ignore the sign which says it’s not allowed to do that. If you are lucky, you can catch a parking place at the restaurant which also costs 5€, than you do not have to walk uphill and use the parking place downhill which also costs 5€. Be aware that the streets which lead to the castle are a mess, sometimes you will find nearly craters directly in the middle of the street, drive carefully. On our way there were two cars at the side of the streets which were broken down due to the bad roads. For us it was not worth the real long drive, but decide on your own!

Even the drive to the place was so enchanting! It's a springtime, and the wild flower fields, the groves of blooming orchards, and trulli houses scattered in the valleys were a beautiful scenery leading to this unique castle. It is a special place. Have a comfy shoes as there is partly scenic hiking 20 minutes up to the castle. You can get a shuttle from parking, but only 2-way, though. We were not allowed to board to go only one-way back to the parking lot.

Great castle to walk around in, you need to watch for tour groups as they try and block the room they are talking in, and it's a room by room flow. They will block a room for several mins so try and get between groups so you can explore on your own. We really enjoyed how modern this castle was and the ability to see several rooms.

I love Castel del Monte, it is an unique castle. I think it is the only castle to have an octagonal shape with eight octagonal towers. There is also an octagonal court present in the center of the castle. If you want to visit the castle make sure you come on time (check opening hours), there is parking and a bus service provided. You need to pay for the parking and the bus. It is also possible to walk up but it is quite steep and the terrain is not ideal. It is not possible to park at the top.

Very interest place which we were told about . The museum gives you samples of the different types of sweets that they produce. The machinery used was well explained and are on site. The smell of almonds is tempting to say the least.

Very friendly staff. We came during lunch time so the museum was closed but the staff took us through a really quick tour. The chocolate (I think the traditional name is tenerelli?) was amazing and there were a lot of flavors. Definitely recommended as a side trip if you're driving.

Mucci is an historical laboratory of confetti, drangéer and sweets. They opened a museum in the old laboratory where they still work. On the top, there is the shop: the interior is all vintage from the 30s. When you enter, it seems like you're back in time. Their products are just the best in the area, I highly recommend them. Plus, all the staff in the shop is very nice and polite.

Voted the best chocolate in Italy, and for good reason. Quaint place with knowledgeable guides. Kids were in heaven.

Delicious chocolate. Visiting the museum was worth it, it wasn't long, very interesting. Enjoyed it all!

A wonderful museum into the historical old Town ! And an Amazing shop of very typical confetto!!

You can't say that you have been in Andria and had a whole experience if you haven't try the best TENERELLI in the world

Beautiful church, well worth a visit while in Andria.

Wow! 😍😍😍

Wonderful day with experience of the city and cathedral

Beautiful church with amazing crypt

Ok

(Translated by Google) Always closed, when finally found open, the sacristan refused to allow a visit because it was too demanding. Bah. It's a shame that you have the time to respond to the review, but you don't have the common sense to allow a visit to the Cathedral. A thousand thanks. (Original) Sempre chiusa, quando finalmente trovata aperta, il sacrestano si è rifiutato di fare visitare, perché troppo impegnativo. Bah. Peccato che si abbia il tempo x rispondere alla recensione, ma non si abbia il buon senso di permettere la visita alla Cattedrale. Grazie mille.

(Translated by Google) Entering here is a mystical journey. Once you cross the threshold you find yourself in a bare and humble but at the same time majestic environment. Walking along the central nave, you arrive in a large open space, a "square", a meeting point where the celebrant gathers the faithful around him. Beautiful crypt where two wives of Frederick II of Swabia are buried. (Original) Entrare qui è un viaggio mistico. Varcata la soglia ci si trova in un ambiente spoglio ed umile ma allo stesso tempo maestoso. Camminando per la navata centrale, si arriva in un grande spazio aperto, una "piazza", un punto di ritrovo dove il celebrante raduna attorno a sé i fedeli. Bella a cripta ove son sepolte e due mogli di Federico Ii di Svevia.

(Translated by Google) We enter history. Monument located on the site of the famous challenge, in an isolated place. In the silence of the olive trees, at the end of a dirt road you arrive in front of the Epitaph. It's worth a little detour if you're passing through the area to see it. It should be valued more. (Original) Si entra nella storia. Monumento situato nel luogo della famosa disfida, in un posto isolato. Nel silenzio degli ulivi, alla fine di una strada sterrata si arriva davanti all'Epitaffio.

(Original) Grazie a Google Maps sono arrivato al luogo dove si dice avvenne la disfida di Barletta cioè a Trani, e si perché essendo Trani sotto la Repubblica di Venezia era il luogo ideale per la disfida essendo Venezia di fatto neutrale ,praticamente si trova in fondo ad una stradina lunghissima immersa tra gli ulivi e vigneti per la verità andrebbe tenuta un po più pulita, comunque è ben segnalata.

(Translated by Google) The Porta S. Andrea is the last remaining access arch to the city.

(Original) La Porta S. Andrea è l'ultimo arco di accesso alla città rimasto in piedi.

(Translated by Google) I was there for a mass in remembrance of a friend of mine who died prematurely. Throughout the celebration we had to listen to screams and loud singing that came from outside.

(Original) Ci sono stata per una messa in ricordo di un mio amico scomparso prematuramente.
