Alta Murgia National Park

Alta Murgia National Park is a protected area in the Apulia region of southern Italy, established in 2004 to preserve one of the Mediterranean basin's most distinctive semi-natural landscapes. The park occupies a vast expanse of the Murgia plateau, a karst limestone tableland characterized by dry valleys, sinkholes, and an extensive grass steppe ecosystem that is increasingly rare in Europe. Located inland from the Adriatic coast, the park's headquarters sit in the historic town of Gravina in Puglia, and its territory spans approximately 677 square kilometers across several municipalities. The area holds exceptional ecological significance as part of a European Union Special Protection Area, designated primarily to safeguard the steppe habitat that supports populations of lesser kestrels and other bird species of conservation concern. Beyond its natural value, the park encompasses a rich cultural landscape dotted with medieval castles, trulli dwellings, ancient karst caves containing significant archaeological finds, and the distinctive dry-stone structures known as jazzi that once served pastoral communities.
