These are impressive megalithic funerary structures. Among the most important in Europe for size and beauty of lines is the Dolmen la Chianca , visited during the year by many tourists. Along the countryside there are numerous farmhouses, the best known are those of Giano, Zappino and Pacciano. The hamlets represented a particularly widespread phenomenon of rural settlement in the area of the Bisceglie area, they date back to the 10th century, 11th century, when in Puglia there was a process of recovery of agriculture, so in areas with more fertile soil these rural settlements arose. Testimony of the fertility of the land surrounding the farmhouses are the centuries-old olive groves adjacent to them. Currently, during the spring period beautiful festivals take place that arouse the interest of many citizens, both from Bisceglie and from neighboring countries.
