Getting around
Arriving
Altamura. On the Ferrovie Appulo Lucane Bari to Matera line; the bread city's cathedral quarter sits a 10 minute walk from the station.
Tickets · Ferrovie Appulo Lucane
Frederick's only puglian cathedral and the DOP bread's wood ovens: Altamura feeds body and eye between Bari and Matera
FAL machines and channels.
Validate before boarding.
On foot
- ·The cathedral's rose and portal, the claustri courtyards and a still warm quarter loaf make the stop; the dinosaur prints and the Neanderthal man wait at the edges
Taxis and driving
- ·The Murgia's high plain roads link Gravina and the castle; the FAL makes the car optional
