    History of Cassano delle Murge

    Hundreds of stone artifacts, paintings, various objects found in the caves around the town tell us about prehistoric settlements.
    The recent discovery of a menhir, dating back to 2500–2000 BC., confirms the antiquity of the human presence in these districts.


    The origins of Cassano seem to date back to the Roman Age, as confirmed by many archaeological finding, such as the recent discovery of a precious 5th century mosaic floor.

    The name Cassano appears for the first time in a document dating back to the beginning of the 14th century. The toponym derives from the Latin term “Cassius” to which the specification “delle Murge” was added in 1863, in reference to the geographical context in which the town stands.

    The history of the town reflects that of the entire regional territory which, after a long period of stagnation in the early Middle Ages, saw a recovery under the Normans and the Swabians.
