Canosa di Puglia is located on the north-western edge of the Murge, from where it dominates the Ofanto valley and the Tavoliere plain. It is a very ancient city with prehistoric origins and has known phases of splendor in Roman, Byzantine and Norman times. Of particular interest are the Cathedral of San Sabino, the mausoleum of Boemondo and the underground tombs.

A city of great interest for archaeology enthusiasts. The most scenic routes wind along the Ofanto River, on the ridge leading to the Madonna di Ripalta, between Cefalicchio and Loconia (remains of a USAAF base), along the Locone reservoir, and toward the Murge, near Minervino.
