Corato, Agricultural market town in Puglia, Italy
Corato sits on a slope descending toward the Adriatic Sea, surrounded by modern developments that encircle its medieval core at 232 meters elevation.
Peter I of Trani established Corato in 1046, building a castle with four towers, perimeter walls, four gates, and two main perpendicular streets.
The Romanesque cathedral from the 12th century and the Gothic church of San Domenico represent the architectural evolution of religious buildings in Corato.
The town maintains strong agricultural production, specializing in fruits, vegetables, cereals, wine, and the regional Coratina olive variety.
A substantial number of Corato residents migrated to Grenoble, France, during the 20th century, creating lasting connections between these two municipalities.
