History

Geography

Agricultural center of the lower Murgia, it is 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of Bari.

Caves

One of the most important attractions in Apulia are the caves of Castellana Grotte, a system of caverns of the karst origin. Stalagmites, stalactites, canyons and caves characterise this pathway long 3 km to more than 60 meters deep. The Grotte of Castellana were discovered January 23, 1938 by cavers Franco Anelli and Vito Matarrese with the help of a little boy named Giovanni Mansueto who they sent down in search of the caves.

Notable residents
