Pulicchio di Gravina

Large karst sinkhole near Gravina in Puglia, part of the Murgia's dramatic limestone landscape.

Pulicchio di Gravina is a large karst sinkhole in the limestone country outside Gravina in Puglia. It is less famous than the town's ravine and cave churches, but it belongs to the same geological story: water cutting, collapsing, and opening the Murgia into sudden voids.

The site is for travellers who like landscape as much as monuments. It is best visited with local directions and sensible footwear, especially after rain, and it pairs well with the ravine walks closer to town.
