Altamura, also called 'Leonessa di Puglia', was built by Frederick II and hides many treasures and important archaeological discoveries, such as megalithic walls, the man of Altamura, and even the footsteps of dinosaurs!
In the historic center of Altamura, you'll find The Frederick Cathedral (the only religious building wanted by Emperor Frederick II), together with the cloisters and a historical testimony of the various neighborhoods populated by different ethnic groups.
Altamura's symbol is its product of excellence: DOP bread. Many old wood-burning ovens are still active in baking bread every day. You'll visit an ancient oven and learn about the process and history from your local expert guide.
