Molfetta, a town in southern Italy's Apulia region, boasts a well-preserved old town, its own dialect, and a rich history. Evidence of habitation dates back to the Neolithic period, making Molfetta one of the most important such sites in southern Italy. The town's origins trace back to a small fishing port, and its development flourished under Byzantine rule with influences from Lombards and Normans.
