Pulicchio di Gravina

Pulicchio di Gravina extends 530 meters in length and 400 meters in width, reaching a depth of 87 meters with consistent slopes on all sides.

Scientific investigations of this geological formation began in 1917 when geologist Carmelo Colamonico conducted detailed studies of its structure and formation processes.

The term 'pullo' has been used since the 1600s by local communities to describe these large natural depressions found across the Murge plateau region.

Located along the SP238 road between Altamura and Corato, visitors can access a 1.7-kilometer gravel path that circles the rim of the formation.

The artificial forest, planted during the 1950s around the doline, now houses rare plant species that contribute to the local biodiversity.
