Apulian Plain
Quick Summary
The Apulian Plain is a region in southeastern Italy, primarily located in the Puglia region. It is characterized by low-lying land, with some areas being ancient sea gulfs filled with alluvium, and others being rocky plateaus. This plain is a significant agricultural area, producing wheat, barley, oats, olives, grapes, almonds, figs, and vegetables. The region also features the Apulian Aqueduct, a large engineering project that supplies water to the area due to the scarcity of surface water. Historically, the area was inhabited by the ancient Apuli tribes and was influenced by Greek colonies before becoming part of the Italian kingdom in 1860.1234
