Gioia del Colle

The town stretches across the Murge plateau at 360 meters elevation between the Adriatic and Ionian seas in southern Italy.

The Norman-Swabian Castle formed the foundation of the current town, with its origins traced back to Byzantine settlements in the Middle Ages.

The National Archaeological Museum exhibits artifacts from Mount Sannace and Santo Mola necropolis, representing ancient Peucetian communities of the region.

Local bus services operated by Sabato Viaggi connect different areas of the town, making transportation accessible for residents and visitors.

The town produces certified Primitivo wine and specialized mozzarella, particularly the local variety known as Bocconcini di Gioia.
