Do you think it’s impossible to discover fascinating places and still be able to relax? With us all this is no longer a myth, but a reality!
The first part of the tour begins with a visit to the actual cathedral of the city: the Co-cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Built right next to the ravine that the city overlooks, a true masterpiece belonging to the Norman era, Gravina’s main place of worship and rich in works of art that will leave you speechless. You should also know that under the floor of the Cathedral is located the lower church, with three naves, which was used as an ossuary until 1633.
Proceed with the visit to the Church of Purgatory, full of works of art that will leave you speechless, built as a mortuary chapel of the family at the behest of Duke Ferdinand III, and dedicated to Santa Maria del Suffragio for the celebration of masses dedicated to the souls in purgatory. You will be interested to know that after the death of the duke, the duchess enlarged the church by adding the presbytery surmounted by a dome perfectly equal in structure to the dome of St. Peter’s in Rome. Here in Piazza Notar Domenico, you will also find one of the most famous monuments of Gravina: the public fountain, today known as “Le Quattro Fontane”. An element of great historical value because it was one of the first fountains made in Gravina, is linked to a legend that one night, the people of Altamura, always rivals of Gravina, tried to steal the fountain that would serve to beautify their city. It seems, however, that while they were trying to steal the fountain, the clock of the Finya Library struck the hours making the two characters depicted in the clock’s eyes move; thinking, therefore, that they had been discovered, the people from Altamura ran away.
Conclude the cultural part of the tour with a visit to the Crypt of San Vito Vecchio which, with its frescoes, will allow you to live a total immersion in history. The first figure that will capture your attention, on the back wall, is the great Christ Pantocrator seated on a throne, blessing with his right hand and with his left hand holding a “Book” open to a passage from the Gospel of St. John.
In the afternoon, relax and have a rest thanks to the “Prince’s Path” at our wellness centre Principe Relais that will let you benefit from: Salt Grotto, Turkish bath (45° chromotherapy and aromatherapy), emotional shower, Sauna, Jacuzzi with cervical waterfall, relax area with herbal tea and fruit tasting.
