THE SURROUNDINGS: OSTUNI

Perched on three hills, Ostuni is located in the Itria Valley at 218 m above sea level. It is 42 km from Brindisi and 8 km from the Adriatic coast, which has a Blue Flag.

The magic of Ostuni, the White City, is linked to the characteristic lime-painting of the old town, a practice still rigorously observed by residents. The 15th-century Romanesque-Gothic cathedral dominates the centre of the town, with a large rose window with 24 rays of rare beauty. Along Via Cattedrale, which divides the mediaeval heart of the town in two, is the former Carmelite Monastery, home to the Museum of Pre-Classic Civilisations of the Southern Murgia, which displays the cast of Delia, a pregnant woman who lived 25,000 years ago.

In Piazza Beato Giovanni Paolo II (Cathedral Square), the eighteenth-century buildings of the Bishop's Palace and the old seminary face each other, linked by the evocative Scoppa arch. The ground floor of the Palazzo dell'Episcopio houses the Diocesan Museum, which preserves and exhibits the extraordinary historical and artistic heritage of the Church of Ostuni, with masterpieces of international renown. Churches and stately homes follow one another in the old town surrounded by the Aragonese walls, with Porta Nova and Porta San Demetrio.

WHAT TO SEE

- MARTINA FRANCA the pinnacles of the trulli, the expanses of olive groves and the white of the ancient hovels stand out in the green of the Itria Valley and invite discovery.

You can then discover the great and famous cities of LECCE (nicknamed the "Florence of the South"), city of architects, stonemasons and artists, it is the city of baroque and stone embroidery and BARI with the longest promenade in Italy embellished by majestic buildings and the sea breeze blows through the old town, guardian of art, flavours and colours.
