The city of Cerignola gives its name to the PDO red wine that since 1974 also embraces the territories of Stornara, Stornarella and Ascoli Satriano.

The city has an ancient nucleus called the Terra Vecchia, but one of the most particular places is undoubtedly the Piano delle Fosse Granarie: an area of about 26,000 square meters that houses more than 600 pits, large pots dug into the ground used until a few years ago for storing grain. Visible from a great distance is the San Pietro Apostolo Minor Basilica also known as Duomo Tonti, considered one of the largest buildings in all of Southern Italy.

Outside the city there is the protected area Il Monte, which includes a wetland where birds such as the purple heron, the marsh harrier and the little egret stop, while in Borgo Libertà, built around the 1950s for the farmers who worked in the nearby fields, stands the complex of Torre Alemanna built by the Order of the Teutonic Knights. Recently renovated, it houses the Museum of Ceramics, where you can admire the remains of pottery found in the area.

Stornara and Stornarella, together with Carapelle, Ordona and Orta Nova, are two villages of the Cinque Reali Siti,Five Royal Sites, that Ferdinand IV of Bourbon populated with 500 farm families to make the once marshy plain productive. Stornarella is the highest point above sea level and for this reason it has always been an area surrounded by many trade routes. Stornara is a former hamlet of Stornarella, which has a small historic centre with elegant architecture such as the parish church of San Rocco and the Schiavone Palace. In the countryside around the two villages today vineyards are cultivated for the production of Red from Cerignola PDO wine, but once the most important transhumance routes passed through here.
