Andria, Ancient city in Puglia, Italy

Located on the eastern slopes of the Murge plateau, Andria extends among olive groves and vineyards, serving as an agricultural center in southeastern Italy.

The city gained prominence during Norman rule in the 11th century when Count Pietro I of Trani enlarged the settlement known as Locum Andre.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta contains the tombs of Frederick II's wives, Isabella of Brienne and Isabella of England, along with religious artifacts.

The railway line connecting Bari to Foggia passes through Andria, making it accessible for visitors exploring the Puglia region by train.

The Castel del Monte, built in 1240 under Frederick II, features an octagonal design with eight towers and stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
