Bisceglie
TERRITORIAL SCALE: CONURBATION
Bisceglie, 34 km far from Bari in North-West direction, is situated 16 m. over the sea level, at the foot of the Murgia Costiera. The town, located in an inlet of the Adriatic sea, has a long coast with an equipped port and is specialized in the production and commerce of agricultural and fishing products.
The ancient town, located in elevated position, has numerous monuments, such as houses of the 15th and 16th centuries, the Cathedral, the Church of Santa Margherita (1197), the ancient Church of Sant’Adoeno and the medieval Castle built by the Swebian and renovated by the Angevin. The urban expansion has been conditioned by the presence of the main roads of connection with the territory and by the choice to build in East of the town, producing an urban unbalance in the territory.
