About Gravina di Puglia
Gravina is in a peculiar territory made out of Karst. The city's subsoil has many underground cavities. Gravina is crossed by the Gravina river on its eastern side. The river has modeled a canyon-like conformation over the years, on which there is a copious amount of rocky churches. The climate is typically Mediterraneean: winters are relatively mild, with temperatures that usually don't go below 0°C. On the other hand, summers are hot and dry. Gravina has a very long history. Its territory proves to be inhabited since the ancient Paleolithic given the presence of the Gravina river, while the most consistent evidence dates back to the Neolithic, since 5950 BC. At the time of Alexander I of Epirus, Gravina became a Polis that had the right to mint coins. After the Third Samnite War (305 BC)
