Viale Cariati, Andria

The cluster is in the built-up area of Andria, so the resident landscape is urban fabric rather than open countryside. The Alta Murgia plateau lies immediately inland, with dry karst ground, cereal fields, pasture and stone farm buildings. Castel del Monte stands on the Murge within this radius and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Barletta and Trani, but it is outside the immediate lived landscape. Barletta and Trani are the nearest larger coastal towns, with ports, rail links and historic centres. The area is known for olive groves, wine and the fortified octagonal castle of Castel del Monte.
