Apulia

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.
