The Dolmen la Chianca is a prehistoric megalithic monument, dating back to the Bronze Age and discovered in 1909 near Bisceglie. The dolmen consists of a quadrangular cell, formed by three vertical stone slabs and one horizontal roof, and an open-air corridor. It is always possible to visit it, with a racing bike it is better to walk the last stretch of the path up to the Dolmen.

Considered a rare and precious pearl, the Dolmen della Chianca di Bisceglie belongs to the Bronze Age, this archaic construction was discovered in 1909 in the locality (from which it takes its name) the Chianca, in an area not far from the Pulo di Molfetta.

The prehistoric megalithic monument consists of a corridor and a cell, about 1 meter and 80 centimeters high and is covered by a stone slab.

But what was its function? And what makes this discovery so sensational even after a century?

The dolmens, also thanks to their millenary history, represent the testimony of ancient "reusable" burials, so much so that it is thought that some tombs like this may have been used for centuries.

It is always possible to visit it at any time because the area is free and there are no access limits.

In racing bikes there are only a hundred meters not passable near the monument, nothing particularly worrying.
