Apulia Essentials

Apulia’s landscape is defined by its distinct architectural heritage, from the 13th-century octagonal Castel del Monte to the intricate Baroque facade of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Lecce. The region contains significant religious landmarks, including the cave-shrine of San Michele on Mount Gargano and the Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bari. Coastal highlights include the Romanesque seaside cathedral of Trani and the limestone cliffs of Polignano a Mare. Inland, the karst system of the Castellana Caves and the unique two-story Trullo Sovrano showcase the area's geological and vernacular history.
