About Andria

The city of Frederick II on the Murgia

Welcome to Visit Andria.com, an independant Travel guide using the "Visit" branding style adopted by more and more private Tourist Guides, marketing-savvy Hotel organisations or official Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Andria is a city where history feels proudly alive, shaped by the legacy of Emperor Frederick II, the stone landscapes of the Murgia and a deep agricultural tradition.

It grew into one of the most important towns of northern Apulia during the Middle Ages, and its cathedral still holds the tombs of two of Frederick II’s wives. A few kilometres south, the emperor built Castel del Monte, the enigmatic octagonal castle listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. For centuries olive oil, wine and almonds shaped the rhythm of the city, and today the old town, its churches and its palaces reflect this heritage, together with the famous sugared almonds of the Mucci confectionery. Andria is also known as the birthplace of burrata. Few places in Apulia combine imperial history and rural traditions so naturally.

Modern Andria blends this heritage with a warm, lively atmosphere typical of southern Italy. The countryside of the Alta Murgia, the olive mills and the Castel del Monte wine cellars offer walks, tastings and wide panoramic views. Markets, festivals and the lively streets of the centre add to its appeal. Andria is a place where an emperor’s castle watches over the hills, where olive groves meet the old town, and where tradition remains part of everyday life.
