Ruvo di Puglia

⭐ 8.4

City of art and archaeology, in the heart of the Murge

Ancient Rubi, a Peucetian city later hellenized, yielded from its tombs the ceramics now on display at the Jatta Museum. The town lies within the Alta Murgia National Park and lives off olives, almonds and vineyards. During Holy Week, two processions leave a lasting impression: that of the Otto Santi, on the night of Holy Thursday, and that of the Misteri, on Good Friday. Good to know: as of early 2025, the co-cathedral’s posted hours were 8 am–12 pm and 5 pm–8 pm; check before you visit.

À PROPOS DE Ruvo di Puglia

Ruvo is worth a stop for two reasons: its 12th-century Romanesque co-cathedral and the Jatta Museum, housed in a downtown palace. There you will see red-figure ceramics found in the region, including the famous Talos Vase. The old town can be explored on foot in two or three hours, centered around the cathedral, the Torre dell’Orologio (Clock Tower), and the Church of Purgatorio. It’s a quiet town, convenient as a stopover between Bari and Castel del Monte.

Ancient Rubi, a Peucetian city later hellenized, yielded from its tombs the ceramics now on display at the Jatta Museum. The town lies within the Alta Murgia National Park and lives off olives, almonds and vineyards.
