Altamura

Few cities in Apulia have a history as closely tied to Frederick II’s 13th-century refoundation as Altamura. The city stands on the Murge plateau, amid the limestone terrain of Alta Murgia National Park. Its cathedral, commissioned by Frederick II in 1232, remains the focal point of the historic centre. Altamura is also known for Pane di Altamura, a protected bread made from durum wheat semolina. Nearby, the Pulo di Altamura is a major karst sinkhole, while Lamalunga Cave yielded the prehistoric remains known as Altamura Man.
