Molfetta

⭐ 8.7

Historic Adriatic port, where maritime traditions meet modernity.

Located 1.5 km from the center, the Pulo di Molfetta is a large karst depression where Neolithic remains were found. When it comes to dining, the town has its sailor dishes: cembotte (fish soup) and, during Lent, calzòene, a focaccia stuffed with cod, onions, cauliflower, olives, and strong ricotta. From September 8 to 15, the fair and the Sagra a mare honor the Madonna dei Martiri, venerated by sailors. During Holy Week, the Procession of the Mysteries departs around 3:30 AM.

À PROPOS DE Molfetta

Molfetta is a port city in the province of Bari, facing the Adriatic Sea. Its historic center is built around the harbor, with Romanesque churches, medieval alleyways, and a strong maritime identity.

Less touristy than some nearby towns, Molfetta wins you over with its authenticity, renovated seafront, and proximity to Bari and Trani. It’s an ideal stop to discover the local Adriatic coast.

Located 1.5 km from the center, the Pulo di Molfetta is a large karst depression where Neolithic remains were found. When it comes to dining, the town has its sailor dishes: cembotte (fish soup) and, during Lent, calzòene, a focaccia stuffed with cod, onions, cauliflower, olives, and strong ricotta. From September 8 to 15, the fair and the Sagra a mare honor the Madonna dei Martiri, venerated by sailors. During Holy Week, the Procession of the Mysteries departs around 3:30 AM.
