When we talk about Andria, we should not think only of the strictly urban area; indeed, if we want to appreciate this city which is so rich from the historical and cultural poin of view, we cannot leave apart the profound relationship existing between the urban area and rural one.

The latter is characterised by the presence of olive groves and vineyards which produce excellent extravergine olive-oil and delicious D.O.C. wines.

From the artistic point of view, the Castel del Monte represents an historical monument of extraordinary value; in 1996 U.N.E.S.C.O. declared it "Patrimonio dell'Umanita'" (part of the world heritage). The castle, the masserie, jazzi, cappelle rurali, laure basiliane have passed on from carlier generations. In the same way superb mansions and beautyful churches recall to mind the rich past of a city which is orientated towards the future. Andria is a reality with a precise cultural identity which aims to keep on prospering, by guaranting the good quality of life for inhabitans and tourists.

Other tangible elements referring to our past, based also upon a rural tradition, are represented by the so called muretti a secco which marked the streches covered by shepherds during the transhumance. Therefore, our territory provides a wide range of historical, cultural and natural itineraries capable of enchanting our guests. Here, visitors can decide whether embarking on a journey through history (by admiring our monuments) or entering a religious dimension (by visiting our churches); they have also the opportunity to come into contact with an unaltered rural landscape which, especially in spring and summer is theatre of natural spectacles; by admiring the wonders of the territory, our guests can also taste the delicious and natural foods of our excellent traditional gastronomy.
