Canosa di Puglia is a productive agricultural town in the district of Bari (population 32000), situated in the north-west side of Murge table-land, from which it dominates the valley of Ofanto and the so called Tavoliere delle Puglie, extending from Vulture Mountain to Gargano and to the Adriatic seaboard. Canosa has always been seen as the main archaelogical centre in Apulia and stands for one of the main far-sighted towns in the region. Vases and other valuables of Canosa are still kept in the most important museums and private collections in the world but, naturally, several tokens of her glorious past are scattered all over the present town and the territory round about.
