As if written for a commercial, you can see women with their nimble fingers forming the typical "orecchiette" on pasta boards. At the same time, the capital of Puglia is an economic center and important university town. Among other impressive buildings, the Romanesque Sanctuary of San Nicola is particularly worth seeing.

Comparable in form and preparation to a calzone, you will taste the typical dish. Afterwards, you will visit the mysterious castle dating back to the time of Emperor Frederick II. The Castel del Monte (UNESCO World Heritage Site) was built in the 13th century and is known worldwide as an ingenious example of medieval architecture, but combines building elements of different styles and eras: from the Roman lions at the entrance to the Gothic towers.
