...BETWEEN CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT
THE PROVINCE OF BAT
castel del monte, andriaThe territory of the emerging BAT province is a still unknown area to discover in all its attractiveness.
Leaving behind the Gargano peninsula and going down the Adriatic coast, you’ll notice on one side an indented and rocky coastline where some prosperous and densely populated towns with an ancient historical background rise. The hinterland, instead, is characterized by the Alta Murgia landscape, a barren and karstic land, with some small spots of woods and some fascinating archeological sites, wrapped into a mesmerizing atmosphere because of the presence of Castel del Monte, the extraordinary castle built by the Emperor Frederick II as a gift to his people.

castel del monte, andriaThe new province is a perfect mixture of culture and entertainment, nature and traditions where you can enjoy and experience history, customs, food-and-wine connoisseurship, nature, sea and a big variety of events. The visitor has just to choose his preferred itinerary, following his own passions and his awareness of the territory.
History emerges from the old stones of the castles, cathedrals, small villages, hypogea, palaces, as well as in the settlement remains of the ancient Daunian and Peucetian civilizations first, and of the Roman, Norman and Swabian rulers then.

castel del monte, andriaWe are referring to the eclecticism that characterizes the traditions of the inhabitants of this territory, who are still able to enjoy the beauty of their landscapes (the Alta Murgia Natural Park and the saltworks), and the produce of the soil, that every visitor will have the chance to taste with dishes served in the numerous local restaurants, as, for instance, the extra-virgin DOC olive oil, wine, handmade pasta, mozzarella and burrata (fresh cheese production), and sweets.
All this, together with the rising dynamism of the young entrepreneurs, has turned the new province into a point of reference for many events and entertainment. It’s not difficult to find clubs, coffee bars, restaurants, pubs and discos on the coast or in the small alleys of the old towns. Here, everybody will experience a multifaceted journey and you’ll satisfy all your needs.
Much more is waiting for you! Come, test it yourself, and have a nice journey!
