Castellana Grotte is located on a karst plateau in the heart of Puglia, within the enchanting Barese Murgia. Its name is inextricably linked to the underground complex of the Castellana Caves, a natural masterpiece that stretches over three kilometers, featuring caverns, stalactites, stalagmites, and ancient formations. Visiting the caves allows one to immerse in one of the most captivating underground landscapes in Europe, culminating in the spectacular White Cave, renowned as one of the brightest caverns in the world.
The surrounding area is a patchwork of ancient olive groves, dry stone walls, trulli, and cultivated fields, creating a landscape that is typically Mediterranean, authentic, and timeless. This region is ideal for hiking or cycling, with trails that weave through nature and rural architecture, offering scenic views and encounters with the local agricultural culture.
Castellana Grotte is perfectly situated to explore some of Puglia's most iconic destinations: Alberobello with its UNESCO-listed trulli, Polignano a Mare perched on cliffs, Monopoli with its historic center by the sea, Putignano famous for having the oldest Carnival in Europe, and Conversano with its castle and Romanesque churches.
In this part of Puglia, culinary traditions blend with the beauty of the landscape: handmade orecchiette, extra virgin olive oil, local wines, and typical cheeses tell a tale of authentic flavors that is renewed each day. The Castellana Grotte area serves as the ideal starting point for a slow and mindful journey to discover the deep soul of the South.
