Monte Sannace Archeological Park

Monte Sannace Archaeological Park encompasses 50 hectares of ancient ruins, defensive walls, and structures from a Peucetian settlement in the Murge region.

Archaeological excavations at Monte Sannace began in 1929 under Michele Gervasio, leading to discoveries spanning from the Iron Age to early Roman Empire.

The site contains remains of indigenous Peucetian civilization, with structures revealing the division between an acropolis and a western residential area.

Two marked routes guide visitors through the park: an archaeological path featuring ancient city structures and a nature trail highlighting Mediterranean vegetation.

The University of Bari maintains an active research presence at Monte Sannace, continuing excavations and documentation of new archaeological findings since 1999.
