ANDRIA

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 974 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANDRIA , a town and episcopal see of Apulia, Italy, in the province of Bari; 35m. W. of the town of Bari by steam tramway, and 6 m. S.S.E. of
Barletta
 . Pop. (1901) 49,569. It was founded probably about 1046 by
Peter
 , the first Norman
count
  of Andria. It was a favourite residence of the emperor Frederick II., whose second and third wives, Iolanthe and
Isabella
  of England, were buried in the
cathedral
  dedicated to St
Richard
 , who is believed to have come from England in 492; their tombs, however, no longer exist. There are several other fine churches of the 13th
century
 . The
Castel
  del Monte, 91 m. S. of Andria, was constructed by Frederick IL, who frequently resided here; it is an octagonal building in two storeys with octagonal towers at each
angle
 , and was further surrounded by three outer walls. Despite its massive and imposing exterior, its details are fine.
See E. Rocchi in L'Arte, i. (1898) 121.
