Layered stone houses and cave churches are nestled in a limestone valley, creating a unique urban landscape. The city's history dates back to prehistoric times. Its historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of Italy's most distinctive ancient settlements.

How to Get There

Bari is about a 1.5-hour drive away. The old town is best explored on foot.
