ALTAMURA Private Tour: Explore the Famous Bread Town
Overview
Discover the medieval town of Altamura, built during the Holy Roman Empire. Enter the historic center through Porta Matera, one of the city’s ancient gates, and be captivated by the architectural beauty of the Church of St Biagio, a small gem with a sober and intimate charm, the Church of St Nicola dei Greci, linked to the ancient traditions of the Greek community, and the Cathedral of Altamura, an imposing example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture, the only church built by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia in the Middle Ages.
Continue your walk through the charming squares and cloisters of the old town. These courtyards once had a defensive function; today they are evocative places to explore, with artisan workshops and spaces rich in history where you can experience the medieval character.
The tour concludes among the characteristic squares of the old town, leading you through the fragrant narrow streets in search of old wood-fired ovens, where bread and focaccia are still baked today
