Canosa is a town in Puglia in southern Italy, between Bari and Foggia.
Canosa di Puglia is a productive agricultural town in the district of Bari (population 32000), situated in the north-west side of Murge table-land, from which it dominates the valley of Ofanto and the so called Tavoliere delle Puglie, extending from Vulture Mountain to Gargano and to the Adriatic seaboard.
