The city of Canne has very ancient origins. The area was highly populated since the 5th-6th millennium BC. as evidenced by some tools found in the area. The Roman city arose between the 6th and 4th centuries BC. as a simple village and here in 216 BC. the famous battle of Cannae took place which marked a harsh defeat for the Romans at the hands of Hannibal's army, which, although numerically inferior, managed to prevail thanks to a tactical expedient known as the pincer maneuver.

With the fall of the Western Roman Empire, a period of decline also began for Cannae. It was destroyed by Totila's Ostrogothic troops and after a slow recovery the city flourished again in the shadow of Canosa until the destruction of the latter by the Saracens in 872. The city was the scene of many important battles and had its period of maximum flowering under Byzantine domination until 1083 when it passed under the dominion of the Normans and was destroyed again and was never able to recover.

The Antiquarium, located at the foot of the fortified citadel and the Archaeological Park, with the remains of the ancient Daunian settlement and the structures from the Roman, early Christian and medieval eras, today offer visitors a complex and fascinating itinerary.
