Canosa di Puglia, generally known simply as Canosa, is a town and comune in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, Apulia, southern Italy. It is located between Bari and Foggia, not far from Barletta on the northwestern edge of the plateau of the Murgia which dominates the Ofanto valley and the extensive plains of Tavoliere delle Puglie, ranging from Mount Vulture at the Gargano, to the Adriatic coast. Canosa, the Roman Canusium, is considered the principal archaeological center of Apulia, and is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in Italy. A number of vases and other archaeological finds are located in local museums and private collections. It is not far from the position on the Ofanto River where the Romans found refuge after the defeat of the Battle of Cannae and is the burial place of Bohemund I of Antioch.

As you wander through the streets of Canosa di Puglia, you'll be transported back in time to the ancient Roman era. The town's beautifully preserved Romanesque architecture, including the stunning 11th-century cathedral and the majestic Castello Svevo, will leave you in awe.

But Canosa di Puglia's history extends far beyond the Roman empire. The town was also an important center during the Middle Ages, and remnants of this era can be seen throughout the town. From the imposing walls that once protected the city to the medieval churches and palaces, there's no shortage of centuries-old landmarks to discover.
