Gravina di Puglia is home to the Alta Murgia National Park and is famous for the ravine under the town, a labyrinth of tunnels, cellars, cisterns and rock churches that bear witness to its millenary history. The Aqueduct Bridge, probably built in the 17th century, is a majestic arched structure that crosses the ravine and allowed pilgrims to reach the little church of the Madonna della Stella.

The center of Gravina in Puglia has a hidden face. Under the inhabited area, an underground world made up of tunnels, cellars, rock churches, granaries, seventeenth-century ovens is preserved in excellent condition. The stairways leading to the oldest neighborhoods start from Piazza Benedetto XIII, between medieval houses and rock churches, the most important of which is the one dedicated to the patron saint, San Michele. The exploration of the cave civilization of Gravina continues in the Pomarici Santomasi Museum, which houses important finds such as the frescoes in the rock crypt of San Vito Vecchio
