Palazzo - Edificio in Castellana Grotte

The area sits on the Murge limestone plateau, with a karst landscape of sinkholes, dry-stone walls, vineyards, olive groves and scattered trulli in the countryside. The Grotte di Castellana are in the town’s immediate surroundings and are one of the main cave systems in southern Italy. Polignano a Mare on the Adriatic is the nearest larger coastal centre, and Monopoli is also close, both providing rail links, services and historic centres. Alberobello, within this part of the south-eastern Murge, is a UNESCO site for its concentration of trulli. This part of inland Bari province is known for karst terrain, caves, olive oil and the trulli landscape toward the Valle d’Itria.
