"Natural" reservoir of karst origin supported by the hand of man who, over the years, has been able to exploit the depressions present for the positioning of cisterns useful for collecting winter precipitation in order to accumulate precious water resources in view of the summer. Today, although it no longer serves this purpose, it is a precious source for the life of birds, fish, amphibians and local fauna.
Powered by an underground pipeline that conveys the rain that has fallen to the surrounding areas, it manages to win the "battle" against the strong evaporation caused by the heat.
And so it is visible and open to visitors throughout the year.

Castello di Conversano

Highlight • Castle

The Aragonese Castle which was built by the Normans around 1054 purely for the purpose of a defensive fortress and became the home of the Acquaviva Counts and was transformed through subsequent alterations into a sumptuous stately home.
The fort was built on ancient megalithic walls, dating back to the VI-IV century BC, still visible at the base of the Torre Maestra, the only surviving Norman tower.

Conversano

Highlight • Settlement

Conversano is a municipality in the metropolitan city of Bari and stands on the first hills of the Murgia, about 200 meters above sea level. It has very ancient origins, dating back to the Iron Age, and was the seat of a Norman county and then of various noble families. For this reason it has a rich historical and artistic heritage, including the castle, the cathedral, and the monastery of San Benedetto.
