Parco Nazionale dell'Alta Murgia

Puglia

One of the biggest national parks in Italy at nearly 68,000 hectares, the Alta Murgia is a rolling limestone steppe grazed by sheep and pocked with karst sinkholes (the pulo of Altamura is among the largest), threaded by dry-stone walls and jazzi (stone sheepfolds). Castel del Monte, Frederick II's enigmatic octagonal hunting lodge, crowns a hill at the park's heart, and the plateau is one of Europe's best sites for steppe birds like the lesser kestrel and stone-curlew.
