Dolmen della Chianca, a megalithic burial chamber dated to around 3000 BCE, stands in an olive grove on the outskirts of Bisceglie and ranks among the best-preserved prehistoric monuments in southern Italy. This Adriatic coastal city in the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT) has approximately 55,400 inhabitants. The old town clusters behind a Norman-Swabian castle and the Romanesque cathedral, both overlooking the harbour where small fishing boats still moor alongside pleasure craft.
Agriculture dominates the local economy. The calcareous soils between Bisceglie and Corato produce table olives and olive oil under the Terra di Bari DOP designation, alongside cherries that supply markets across Europe during early summer. Shoe manufacturing and stone quarrying round out the productive base. Bari is 35 km south along the SS16 coastal road or reachable in about 30 minutes by Trenitalia regional service.
Bari and Trani both sit within 35 km along the Adriatic coast, and the centro storico near the harbour serves as a common reference for the area.
