Overview
In the heart of the Murgia plateau, Altamura has been inhabited since the dawn of time, as evidenced by the remains of "Ciccillo", the famous man of Altamura who lived over 150,000 years ago.
The city was later refounded by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia, who repopulated it by welcoming the inhabitants of the nearby countryside within the enormous proto-historic walls and by having the imposing cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta built, with its characteristic two bell towers.
For the courage shown against the Bourbon kingdom she was named the "Lioness of Puglia". Immerse yourself in the narration of the ancient history of the city, from the Paleolithic to the Classical Age, by visiting the rooms of the National Archaeological Museum, getting lost among the ancient streets and cloisters of the medieval village until reaching the majestic Frederick Cathedral.
All this while naturally being inebriated by the unmistakable scent of Altamura bread, famous throughout the world.
