Putignano, Medieval town in Murgia region, Italy
Putignano spans across 99 square kilometers of rolling hills, with vineyards and olive groves surrounding its circular historic center at 372 meters elevation.
The territory transformed from a Peuceta settlement to a Roman municipium, later governed by Benedictine monks who established the Abbey of Santo Stefano di Monopoli.
The Carnival of Putignano starts on December 26 with Propaggini performances and continues through winter with parades featuring large papier-mâché floats.
The town connects directly by train to major cities and provides access to neighboring destinations like Alberobello, Castellana Grotte, and Polignano a Mare.
Local artisans maintain specialized wedding dress workshops throughout the town, making Putignano a central destination for Apulian brides seeking formal wear.
