Bisceglie is a town on the Adriatic Sea, with a population of c. 53,700, in Apulia ("Italian": Puglia) region, in the province of Bari.

According to a theory, in Roman times there would be here a settlement called "Vigiliae" (Sentinel). The modern city was founded by the Normans in the 11th century and englarged under the Aragonese dynasty of Naples in the the 15th century.
