Gravina in Puglia: the Swabian Castle and the history of Pallone

The toponym "Gravina" comes from the ravines, cracks in the earth's crust similar to canyons. On the motto reported on the city banner there is a curious phrase: it says "Grana dat et vina" (translated "offers wheat and wine"), attributed to the city by Frederick II of Swabia, who loved this city so much that he called it a garden of delights. In fact, in addition to the famous Castel del Monte, he had the castle of Gravina built, also known as the Swabian Castle, of which some ruins remain that can be visited. The Swabian castle had a rectangular plan and had the function of hosting him and his men, before and after the hunting expeditions carried out in the territory of the upper Murgia. Along the way, our guide will illustrate monuments, historic buildings, churches and ancient ovens still in use today. In addition, you will visit a famous artisan Gravina dairy and get to know the producer of Pallone di Gravina, a Slow Food presidium, which is an ancient local cheese.
