Discover Castel del Monte, Italy's most fascinating castle
When traveling with Taxi Premium Matera, we take you to explore one of the most iconic and captivating monuments not only in Puglia but in all of Italy: Castel del Monte. Situated on the hills of Murgia, this unique castle is an absolute masterpiece of the Middle Ages, surrounded by an aura of mystery and geometric perfection that continues to enchant visitors today.
With our premium taxi service from Matera, your journey to Castel del Monte will be an exclusive experience, offering the utmost comfort, stress-free and without worries.
History wrapped in mystery
Built at the will of Frederick II of Swabia around 1240, Castel del Monte was not conceived as a military fortress but rather as a representative residence or, perhaps, as a building with deep symbolic meaning.
The octagonal layout, the numerical games, and the positioning in relation to the equinoxes and solstices make Castel del Monte a true architectural enigma. It is not like other castles: it is a declaration of wisdom, power, and mystery, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996.
Thanks to Taxi Premium Matera, you can reach this magical place without any worries, with all the flexibility and freedom you need.
What to see at Castel del Monte
Once you arrive at your destination with our taxi service from Matera to Castel del Monte, you will be immersed in a unique experience:
The octagonal architecture: the perfect geometric shape is repeated everywhere — in the layout, the eight towers, and the interior halls.
The interior rooms: even though devoid of furniture, they still tell the architectural genius of the time.
The panoramic view: the castle dominates the surrounding plain, offering spectacular views all the way to the Adriatic Sea.
Every corner of Castel del Monte seems designed to amaze and enchant visitors.
Symbolism and mystery
Castel del Monte is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a symbol of knowledge. Many scholars have seen references to astronomy, philosophy, religion, and medieval numerology in its design.
When visiting with Taxi Premium Matera, you will have the time to admire the details and be captivated by the countless interpretations hidden behind every stone.
