Visit to the Dolmen della Chianca in Bisceglie
Bisceglie is a medium-sized city located between Trani and Molfetta. I don't find the idea of spending holidays in the city very attractive, but Bisceglie is a bit different. Most importantly, it is located by the sea. Some beaches can be accessed directly from the city, while others are located a bit outside. Some consider the stretch of the Biscegliese beach, composed of fine and white sand that alternates with stretches where there are pebbles and big stones, the most beautiful of < em> Puglia.
Not only for the sea it's worth coming around here. In moments when you don't rest on the beach you can explore the historic center of the town where medieval buildings alternate with the Renaissance palaces. The oldest architecture is also beautiful: yellow stone houses overlooking the narrow alleys, up and down that unfold through the city center. Cats lazing on the steps, colorful flowers on the balconies, linen stretched between houses. I love it crazy.
Speaking of important things to see, I cannot forget the dolmen that is, the tombs made with limestone slabs in the Middle Bronze Age. In the Biscegliese countryside there is the best known and best preserved Dolmenic monument in Europe, the Dolmen della Chianca.
Beyond history in Bisceglie you will find excellent cuisine.
The town has agricultural and marine origins and its cuisine fully reflects it. Tasty fish dishes, an excellent extra virgin olive oil and fine local wines. For me the best are the cherries of which Bisceglie is famous. This red and pulpy fruit is the protagonist of the event “One Cherry Pulls the Other”.
