The Pulo of Molfetta. A characteristic karstic collapse sinkhole created by the collapse of the vault and the dividing walls of one or more caves and tunnels formed starting from distant geological times and forming part of a complex karst system consisting of the confluence and intersection of several karst wells which originated precisely in that place from a series of geological coincidences. Archaeological Civic Museum of Pulo (Museo civico archeologico del Pulo). Housed a restored building from the early 19th century, it exhibits various finds from various archaeological excavations, carried out since 1997 in the Neolithic village of the Azzollini Fund and in the nearby Pulo. The collection includes a selection of ceramics, lithic industries and fragments of the huts, dating back to the Neolithic and the Bronze Age, accompanied by captions, images and reconstructions.
