Oria, Medieval town in Apulia, Italy
The municipality extends across three adjacent hills with an elevation of 83 meters, marked by a castle and cathedral at their summits.
Founded around 1400 BC by Cretans who established Hyria, the settlement gained Roman municipium status in 265 BC for its loyalty during conflicts.
The Historical Procession of Federico II features over 1000 participants in medieval costumes performing traditional competitions during the second week of August.
The tourist information office in Piazza Manfredi provides maps and guidance, while street parking spaces are available near the historical center.
The Jewish Quarter, accessed through Porta degli Ebrei, contains preserved streets and dwellings from one of southern Italy's earliest Hebrew communities.
