The Balsignano Monumental Complex is an ancient fortified medieval settlement. During your visit, you can visit this evocative archaeological and historical site, comprising a castle with double walls and two important churches: the Church of Santa Maria (with frescoes) and the Church of San Felice, the latter considered a masterpiece of Apulian Romanesque art with Byzantine influences. The complex dates back to the 10th-11th centuries and underwent various historical phases until its abandonment in the 16th century.

At the foot of the sanctuary you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding Murgia valleys.

The gate owes its name to the underground cisterns used to collect rainwater. For a long time it was one of the main accesses to the old, fortified city, where most of the population lived until the early 18th century.

Precious evidence of the numerous rural villages which, since the period of Byzantine domination, populated the Bari area between the 10th and 11th centuries. This village was built on the edge of the Balsignano blade, a depression in the land caused by karst phenomena. Easily identifiable along the Matera road. The area is fenced and can only be accessed for a fee at set times (in the morning from 9.30 to 13).

Rural church built by faithful, with dedication to the Holy Virgin, dated in 1759, the year of the encyclical Cum Primum published by the Pope Clement XIII in which the Pontiff severely admonishes all those Ecclesiastics who, eager for easy earnings, engage in commerce and thus degrade the dignity of their condition as clerics or priests. #babaciclistaurbano #historiaetfabulis #balsignano
