Round Bales on Golden Fields near Castel del Monte, Corato

Near Castel del Monte, the famous Frederician castle and UNESCO World Heritage site, the agricultural landscape of Alta Murgia presents itself in its typical summer attire. The round hay bales, scattered on the freshly harvested fields, dot the golden terrain creating a visual rhythm that extends to the horizon. The hills in the background, green with olive groves and Mediterranean scrub, create a pleasant chromatic contrast. The blue sky with white clouds completes this typical postcard of Apulian summer. Corato, whose territory embraces both the coastal and Murgian areas, offers these glimpses of great natural beauty.
