Molfetta

Located along the Adriatic Sea, Molfetta features narrow stone streets that wind through its ancient center toward a port filled with fishing boats.

The first written records of Molfetta date back to 925 CE, when it was mentioned as a settlement called Melfi on the Sant'Andrea peninsula.

The Duomo Vecchio, constructed in the 12th century, stands as a prime example of Romanesque-Apulian architecture with its twin bell towers overlooking the harbor.

The city maintains regular ferry connections to other Adriatic ports, while the railway station provides direct links to major cities including Bari and Foggia.

The Pulo, a 23-meter-deep circular cave within the city limits, contains significant Neolithic artifacts and ancient structural remains.
