Apuglia

Territory: This region forms the easternmost part of the peninsula the heel of the "boot" and has a long coastline, facing the Ionian and the Adriatic Seas. Apulia is essentially a flatland with expanses, terraces and arid table-lands. The Murgia highland and the coast present impressive karst formations (grottoes and "Doline" hollows). The coasts are essentially high and, in the Gargano district, plunge steep into the sea; in other aeas, they are sandy or rocky, but usually flat.


Major Cities: Bari is the regional capital. Brindisi, Foggia, Lecce and Taranto are the capitals of the respective provinces.
