Casamassima, Medieval village in Metropolitan City of Bari, Italy.
Casamassima stands at an elevation of 230 meters at the foot of the Murge, surrounded by fertile lands producing wine, olive oil, and almonds.
The settlement traces its origins to a Roman encampment, with the first documented reference appearing in the Codice Diplomatico Barese from 962.
The village features narrow stone streets, medieval buildings, and the Monastery of Santa Chiara, reflecting centuries of architectural development.
The location provides direct access to regional destinations including Taranto, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Matera, and Brindisi.
Buildings in the historical center display blue-painted facades, a tradition dating from the 1600s when residents sought protection from plague.
