The Murgian balcony offers a view that will never be forgotten: Palaces and churches are important architectural elements, such as the Castle (XIV Century) dominating the area perched on the hilltop, where the permanent exhibition entitled “Quando l’Ofanto era colour dell’Ambra” (“When Ofanto was coloured Amber”) is on show, dominating the mediaeval village of Scesiola. The caves of S. Michele and the Cathedral of the Sanctuary of “Our Lady of Saturday” (“Madonna del Sabato”) are also a must see.
