Explore Gravina Grande of Castellaneta, one of Apulia’s deepest canyons, located in the heart of the ravine-rich territory, a natural park established in 2005. Known as deep karst canyons, ravines are home to typical Mediterranean bush, acting as a natural habitat for various plant and animal species. Here, you might witness the flight of creatures like the kestrel hawk and the black stork. A breathtaking route where the fragrances and sounds of nature provide a reprieve from daily chaos. For over 3000 years, humans have inhabited and altered this region where the rock offered refuge and the plants and animals supplied food; you’ll find karst caves and rock settlements. Visiting the Land of ravines, you will have the opportunity to appreciate ancient environments and sacred spaces.
