Called Noja until a formal name change in 1862, this Apulian municipality of roughly 25,700 residents anchors its identity on its historical architecture. The focal point is the Mother Church, built between the 12th and 13th centuries in the distinct Apulian-Romanesque style.

Moving through this town in the metropolitan area of Bari reveals a shift in architectural periods. Later centuries left their mark through several Baroque structures, with the Chiesa del Carmine and the Madonna della Lama standing as prominent examples.
