About Altamura
Altamura's medieval center is a compact stage for layered history: a Romanesque cathedral, a labyrinth of whitewashed lanes, and a bread tradition tied to the city's identity. For a focused introduction, the Altamura: Private Guided Walking Tour of History, Bread, and Traditions pairs the old town's architecture with the stories behind its famous loaves, while the Altamura & Matera Bus Tour: Historic Bakery Stop & Sassi Guided Tour extends the day into Matera's rock-cut Sassi.

Frequently asked questions
Altamura's history is inseparable from its bread. A good tour connects the Romanesque cathedral, the medieval street plan, and the city's long-standing bread-making tradition into one narrative. Licensed local guides explain how the old town developed and why Altamura's loaves earned protected status, so you leave understanding the place rather.
