Map of Apulia
Farm products include olives, grapes,
cereals, almonds, figs, tobacco, and livestock (sheep, pigs, cattle, and
goats). From the late 12th to early 13th cent. Apulia was a
favorite residence of the Hohenstaufen emperors, notably Frederick II.
The coast later was occupied at times by the Turks and by the Venetians.
In 1861 the region joined Italy. The characteristic Apulian
architecture of the 11th-13th cent. reflects Greek, Arab, Norman, and
Pisan influences. There are universities at Bari and Lecce. |

Adriatic Sea in the east and the Strait of Otranto and Gulf of Taranto

Italian "boot." Bari is the capital of the region, which is divided into
Bari, Brindisi, Foggia, Lecce, and Taranto. Apulia is mostly a plain;
its low coast, however, is broken by the mountainous Garagano Peninsula
in the north, and there are mountains in the north central part of the
region. Farming was the chief occupation, but industry has expanded
rapidly.
