Altamura
To the south of Bari, over the plateau, the wonderful city of Altamura is still partially surrounded by its old walls.The imposing cathedral was built by Frederic II in 1231, with subsequent modifications after an earthquake in the fourteenth century and a complete interior reversal in the sixteenth century.It is the most complicated carved portal in Puglia and one of the best in Italy, full of fine details, because several biblical scenes are represented in a very small space.In the eardrum, the Virgin and the Baby are shown with two kneeling angels, and below is one last unusual dinner in infinite details.Although the Cathedral really deserves the trip to Altamura, the city itself is delightful, with picturesque stone and arcade streets
