Lucera, Medieval commune in Apulia, Italy
Lucera stands on a plateau in the Tavoliere Plains near the Daunian Mountains, featuring ancient walls and a Roman amphitheater from Augustus period.
The city served as a Muslim settlement between 1224 and 1300 under Frederick II, who relocated thousands of Sicilian Muslims to establish an agricultural community.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria, constructed in the 13th century, displays Norman architectural elements and houses important religious artifacts from medieval times.
The Mediterranean climate of Lucera creates favorable conditions for wine production, particularly the DOC-certified Cacc'e mmitte di Lucera variety.
The Roman amphitheater in Lucera could accommodate up to 18,000 spectators, making it one of the largest ancient entertainment venues in southern Italy.
