Inside the Alta Murgia National Park (which houses the last example of the Mediterranean steppe present in Italy), the dry stone buildings which, during the transhumance, served as a shelter for animals, stand out among the greenery. Powerful and majestic, the farms, some fortified like real castles, were the vital centers of the local agricultural economy from the 15th century. The pride of the Park is Castel del Monte, the mysterious manor built by the "stupor mundi" Frederick II as a hunting residence once animated by falconers and game.
