Andria

The cluster sits on the southern edge of the Murgia limestone plateau (Alta Murgia area) with karst terrain, dry valleys and agricultural plateaus. There is no significant lake or river within the local 15 km radius. Alta Murgia (a regional park) extends into the area and Castel del Monte — a 13th‑century octagonal castle in Andria’s territory — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are no ski lifts in the immediate area. Andria is the local town of size and provides a historic centre, churches, shops and services, regional road and rail connections and basic health facilities. The surrounding countryside is agricultural, dominated by olive groves and cereal cultivation with scattered farms and rural settlements.
