Putignano
Bari · Italy
Putignano's carnival is among the oldest in Italy, a tradition that defines this Apulian town on the Murgia plateau in the Metropolitan City of Bari. The historic centre holds a concentration of churches, and the surrounding area contains karst caves. Textile manufacturing has long been part of the local economy. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the coast is a short drive away.
