Storia comune di Andria provincia di Barletta-Andria-Trani

There are lots of unsure legends about Andria’s history and its name’s origin. The first document in which Andria is named dates back to 915 AD. It was inhabited by Byzantines, Normans and Swabians, whose leading figure was Frederick II that managed to keep the faithfulness of Andria citizens. Throughout the XIV and the XV centuries Anjous and Aragones ruled through Del Balzo family and then Andria became part of the Kingdom of Naples until the Spanish conquest. The Spanish left the government in Carafa family hands until the XIX century. Then Andria followed the ups and downs of Italy until its unification.
