A visit to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria degli Angeli is a must. Built over a karst cave where an image of the Virgin was discovered, it has been home to a Franciscan convent since the 15th century and Augustinian friars are in charge of the church spaces. A truly charming panoramic area is in front of the sanctuary, offering breathtaking views over the entire town and the Bari plain stretching to the sea. Visiting in the evening is highly recommended, when thousands of lights from houses and narrow streets create a magical and unforgettable atmosphere.

Located at the foot of Santa Lucia hill, in a quieter area just outside the town, this church is surrounded by the natural landscape of the Murgia. Nearby stands a small chapel dating back to 1590.

The main church, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, overlooks the town’s central square. Built in the 19th century in Neoclassical style on the site of a previous medieval church, it still preserves the Crypt of the Crucifix and the bell tower of the original Mother Church, featuring Romanesque-Gothic elements.

This event is dedicated to beer and the flavours of the Murgia region. Visitors can enjoy a wide selection of beers, including both local and international varieties, served in a lively and informal atmosphere.
