Castle. Castel del Monte was built in the 13th cent. by Federic II. The peculiarity of the castle that attracts crowds of visitors from all over the world lies in the way it has been built. Federic II, man of great knowledges, expert in mid-oriental culture, wanted the castle to be built octagonal with eight towers ( the eight is the perfect number).
The typical Palo del Colle dish is linguine pasta with sepia cuttle-fish tomatoe sauce with grated hazel-nut on top. Talking about food, the best known Apulian dish is the orecchiette pasta with cime di rape vegetable, seasoned with apulian vergin olive oil (recognized as the best olive oil on earth), red pepper and small ciliegine tomatoes.
Apulia is full of events all through the year, so in this section we will mention only the most important connected with local traditions but also museums and monuments to visit.
