A Bit of Andria’s History

The first traces of settlements in the territory of Andria date back to the Neolithic period. In the next era, in the Aeneolithic period, men lived in some caves dug into the tuff. During the Bronze Age, men began to live in some cylindrical buildings with a cone-shaped roof similar to trulli. Many examples of this type of construction were found in the region, especially in the districts of Santa Barbara, Santa Lucia and Castel del Monte.

In the 20th century, starting in the 1950s, there was a gradual economic recovery of a city almost destroyed by war, and in 1965, they opened the Bari-Barletta railway line, which connected Bari to the municipalities in the interior of the north of the province. In 2004, the new province of Barletta-Andria-Trani was created. Andria leaves the province of Bari, although Bari continues to be a point of reference for those who want to reach Andria, and the city is gradually becoming a city independent of the fame of its neighbor.
