Postcards from Altamura

Altamura

Altamura is an Italian municipality with approximately 70,300 inhabitants in the Bari metropolitan area, in the Apulia region. With an area of 431.38 km², it is the largest municipality within the Bari metropolitan area and the third largest in the region, after Cerignola and Foggia.

Altamura is part of the Alta Murgia National Park and has the largest protected area of the thirteen municipalities involved, covering 12,726 hectares. A striking natural phenomenon is the Pulo di Altamura, a large karst pit situated among the hills of the Murgia plateau at approximately 467 meters above sea level.

The area around Altamura is also of great archaeological and paleontological importance. In October 1993, speleologists discovered the skeleton of a Homo neanderthalensis, known as the Altamura Man, along with fossil remains of other animals in the Lamalunga Cave. Additionally, numerous footprints of Upper Cretaceous dinosaurs, approximately 80 million years old, were found in an abandoned quarry near Pontrelli.

Thanks to these exceptional finds, the Murgia di Altamura was nominated for the UNESCO Provisional World Heritage List on June 1, 2006, although this ultimately did not lead to definitive recognition.

The territory of the municipality varies in altitude from 351 to 671 meters above sea level.

Altamura is een Italiaanse gemeente met ongeveer 70.300 inwoners in de metropool Bari, in de regio Apulië. Met een oppervlakte van 431,38 km² is het de grootste gemeente binnen de metropool Bari en de derde grootste van de regio, na Cerignola en Foggia.

Altamura maakt deel uit van het Nationaal Park Alta Murgia en beschikt van de dertien betrokken gemeenten over het grootste beschermde gebied, met een oppervlakte van 12.726 hectare. Een opvallend natuurverschijnsel is de Pulo di Altamura, een grote karstput gelegen tussen de heuvels van het Murgia-plateau op ongeveer 467 meter boven zeeniveau.

De omgeving van Altamura is ook van groot archeologisch en paleontologisch belang. In oktober 1993 ontdekten speleologen in de grot van Lamalunga het skelet van een Homo neanderthalensis, bekend als de Mens van Altamura, samen met fossiele resten van andere dieren. Daarnaast werden in een verlaten steengroeve bij Pontrelli talrijke voetafdrukken gevonden van dinosaurussen uit het Boven-Krijt, ongeveer 80 miljoen jaar oud.

Dankzij deze uitzonderlijke vondsten werd de Murgia di Altamura op 1 juni 2006 voorgedragen voor de voorlopige werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO, al leidde dit uiteindelijk niet tot een definitieve erkenning.

Het grondgebied van de gemeente varieert in hoogte van 351 tot 671 meter boven zeeniveau.
