Ruvo di Puglia
Ruvo di Puglia combines an agricultural setting with an urban cultural legacy in a way that reflects its position on Apulia’s Murge plateau. Olive groves, vineyards and broad fields spread across the limestone country around the town, forming a characteristic landscape of inland northern Apulia. Ruvo has long been associated with the ancient Peucetians; finds from the area are preserved in the Jatta National Archaeological Museum, including the celebrated Talos Vase. The historic centre is marked by the Romanesque Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, begun in the 13th century. Cultivated plateau country and stone-built streets give Ruvo a distinctly inland Apulian identity.

Among the regions of Italy, Apulia stands out for its long Adriatic and Ionian shoreline, tracing the heel of the peninsula. Inland, the limestone Murge plateau leads into olive groves, vineyards and the broad agricultural plain around Bari, while the Gargano promontory reaches into the Adriatic in the north. Its towns retain distinctive stone architecture: Alberobello is known for trulli, whitewashed circular dwellings with conical roofs, and Castel del Monte, commissioned by Emperor Frederick II, stands on a hill near Andria. Apulian cooking centres on olive oil, durum wheat, vegetables and seafood, reflecting both farmland and coast. Browse webcams around Apulia to see how the region connects with southern Italy.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
