Church of Santa Maria della Stella

Highlight • Religious Site

A knight who followed Roberto il Guiscardo, who had besieged Bari, in 1071, asked his Lord to retire to a place of rest. The said knight, Gualtieri Giosuè, was heard and retired to the area of the Canneto territory. His son Domenico got married and had a little girl whom he named Stella Beatrice. This, having become heir of the Canneto territory, became seriously ill, so much so that it was feared of losing her. The husband with lively faith addressed continuous prayers to the Madonna, so that she had saved his wife. Stella recovered and her husband in thanksgiving and in homage to the Blessed Virgin Mary had a chapel built in her garden entitled "Madonna della Stella", and established that a Mass would be celebrated every Monday. The very religious people of Canneto every Easter Monday honor the Madonna della Stella with a solemn feast, having then the people themselves elected the Virgin of the Star protector of Canneto which now with Montrone constitutes the Municipality of Adelfia.

Norman-Swabian Castle of Gioia del Colle

Highlight • Castle

Gioia del Colle is a village characterized by its Byzantine origins. The narrow streets and white houses make this town very suggestive. It is worth visiting the Norman-Swabian castle which stands out over the town and houses the national archaeological museum.

Molino Excelsior Pagano

Highlight • Monument

If it became a hotel (perhaps hotel accommodation) it would not be bad also given the proximity to the train station.

Piazza dei Martiri, Acquaviva delle Fonti

Highlight • Historical Site

The town's most important monuments overlook this square: the Cathedral, Palazzo de Mari, and the Clock Tower. Piazza dei Martiri serves as the entrance to the old town. The square, once called "delle Beccherie," owes its name to the sad episode of March 31, 1799, when several republicans were burned alive by the "Sanfedisti" along with the tree of liberty they had planted in the name of the revolution.
