At the agreed time, we'll meet near the castle's ticket office, where we'll begin our private tour of Castel del Monte. Once we're all gathered, we'll admire the lush nature in Puglia and the surrounding places outside the monument, and, immediately after, we'll be ready to enter one of the most mysterious castles in Italy.

The octagonal crown of Castel del Monte, perched on a hill 540 meters above sea level, dominates the western Murge plateau. Built by Frederick II around 1240, this fortress is considered a brilliant example of medieval architecture and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996.

Together with an expert guide, you'll explore the castle premises to discover its history and the mysteries that lie hidden within its walls, conceived with meticulous geometric and mathematical precision. Did you know that the number eight appears over and over again in the design elements of the castle? During the tour, you'll discover the reason why!

After two hours of exploring the castle, you'll bid farewell to your guide and exit the fortress.
