A brief history of Apulia
The history of Apulia has deep roots, and numerous civilisations have followed one another in this land. Greeks, Romans, Messapians, Byzantines, Normans, Swabians and Angevins have left priceless traces of history and culture.
The treasures brought to light by the numerous archaeological excavations are magnificent testimonies to the history and culture of different peoples. Just as incomparable is the value of the artistic and architectural treasures of menhirs, rock churches, medieval castles, Baroque and Romanesque cathedrals, noble palaces and historic houses, small enchanted villages and cities of art, masserie, trulli and charming farmhouses.
