Canosa di Puglia, Administrative division in Puglia, Italy
Canosa di Puglia is a commune in the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani in Puglia. The settlement sits on the northwestern edge of the Murgia plateau and spreads between the plains of the Ofanto valley and the Tavoliere region.
The settlement emerged in Roman times and gained status as a self-governing commune around 88 BC. After the battle at Cannae, the town offered refuge to fleeing Roman soldiers and developed into an important retreat.
The town's name derives from ancient Canusium, reflected in the modern settlement. Visitors today notice numerous churches and Roman remains throughout the center, maintained by residents and highlighted during local celebrations.
The town hall sits on Piazza Martiri del 23 Maggio in the historic center. Visitors can reach the administration during standard office hours and find there information about the region and archaeological sites.
The Mausoleum of Bohemond from the early 12th century houses the bones of a leader from the First Crusade. The structure shows an unusual polygonal dome, rare in this form for the region.
