Casa Indipendente

No mountains are within the coastal plain around the town; the terrain is flat (Tavoliere delle Puglie). The town faces the Adriatic Sea. Salt pans (Saline di Margherita di Savoia) occupy the coast immediately adjacent to the town. The Saline are a regional nature reserve protecting saltworks and associated wetlands. The wetlands host migratory waterbirds, including flamingos. The town has a fishing harbour and sandy littoral. Nearest town of size is Barletta, which offers a railway station on national lines, a historic centre and Castello Svevo. The local landscape and economy are known for commercial salt production and salt-related industry.
