Casale di Zappino

Casale di Zappino, near Bisceglie, is a structure that has stood alone for about a thousand years. This building, present on the old road to Canosa di Puglia, is still in good condition after ten centuries, so much so that it is still possible to see its wall enclosure, a church of medieval origins and a more recent tower.

The toponym of the farmhouse derives from sappinus (medieval Latin etym.), a kind of pine tree.
The architectural complex, located about 5 km from the city in the direction of Terlizzi, consists of a medieval church, a wall and some buildings.
In the church of the farmhouse a Madonna is venerated, bringer of rain and health to the fields, whose feast is held on site on the first Sunday after Easter. The painting of the Madonna, placed on the altar, is in oil on canvas.
