Minervino Murge
Minervino Murge (Central Apulian: Menarvèine [mənarˈvɛinə]) is a town and comune, former bishopric and present Latin Catholic titular see in the administrative province of Barletta-Andria-Trani in the region of Apulia in southern Italy, lying on the western flank of the Murgia Barese mountain chain.
It assumed its present name in 1836, formerly known as just Minervino (with namesakes).
It is 16 kilometres (10 mi) south of Canosa di Puglia and 17 kilometres (11 mi) north of Spinazzola, in the Alta Murgia National Park.
The town's economy is based mainly on agriculture and herding. The karstic geology of the area has conditioned its main crops: grapes, olives, wheat, and almonds.
