Conversano
This town in Apulia with a notably dense concentration of historic churches in its centre, Conversano sits on the first ridges of the Murgia plateau southeast of Bari, close to the Adriatic coast. Pre-Roman in origin, it became the seat of a powerful medieval county covering much of central-southern Apulia, and has served as a religious centre since the Middle Ages — today it remains the seat of the Diocese of Conversano-Monopoli. A horse bred here in 1767, named Conversano, became one of the founding stallions of the Lipizzaner breed.
