Botromagno is the ancient counterpoint to Gravina's ravine and cave churches. The archaeological area spreads across the hill above town, where traces of Peucetian, Greek-influenced, and Roman settlement help explain why this corner of inland Puglia mattered long before the medieval streets took shape.
The site is more evocative than polished: expect earthworks, fragments, views, and a need to use your imagination. It rewards travellers who enjoy seeing a town in layers, with the ravine below, the old centre opposite, and the older settlement pattern underfoot. Pair it with the Museo Pomarici Santomasi for context.
