Overview
Rising on a slight rise in the Murgia Barese, Acquaviva delle Fonti owes its name to the aquifer that flows underground, a name that evokes its essence, its relationship with the elements of nature. The heart of the centre is the Cathedral, one of the four Palatine Basilicas of Apulia, located in the same square as Palazzo De Mari, an ancient fortified residence that now houses the municipal headquarters. Outside the centre, nature and its essence return to centre stage with the evocative Grotta Curtomartino where, amidst rare plants and orchids, ancient stalactites and stalagmites tell of the territory's most ancient past, its being land and water, a strong and silent soul.
