TERRITORIO

Territory

This stunning valley stretches across the provinces of Brindisi, Taranto, and Bari, nestled among the slopes of the southeastern Murge. It is the valley of the trulli par excellence, boasting the highest concentration of these iconic stone dwellings, creating a fairytale-like and enchanting landscape — a truly unique and imaginative panorama.

It is not a true valley, but a gently undulating territory of dips and hills, rises and karstic slopes. Framing the scenery, on the higher elevations, are the towns of Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Ceglie Messapica, where the valley gradually opens onto the Salento plain.

Questa splendida vallata si colloca a cavallo fra le province di Brindisi, Taranto e Bari fra i declivi delle Murge sud-orientali. È la valle dei trulli per antonomasia, qui infatti si riscontra la loro massima concentrazione che genera uno scenario da favola e incantevole, un panorama unico e fantasioso. Non è una vera e propria valle, ma un territorio dolcemente ondulato in cui si alternano avvallamenti e colline, poggi e saliscendi carsici.

A far da cornice, sulle alture piĂš alte, le cittadine di Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino e Ceglie Messapica, dove la valle si apre gradualmente alla piana salentina.

Welcome to

OSTUNI

Ostuni is also known as the “White City”, a nickname derived from the typical color of the houses in the ancient Terra district, the fortified old town of the city.

Strolling through the narrow streets of the historic center, where the houses are strictly white, you will have the chance to immerse yourself in a world of winding alleys and cobbled streets framed by the enchanting view of a fairytale-like environment.

The perfect mix of elegance, popular authenticity, and labyrinthine streets in which to get lost contributes to making Ostuni magical — not only for those who visit it but also for those who admire it from afar.

Among the monuments worth visiting is the Concattedrale, located at the highest point of the city. Built in the 15th century, it is undoubtedly Ostuni’s main landmark.

Also on Piazza Cattedrale is the Museum of Preclassic Civilizations of the Southern Murgia.

Attached to the monastery is the Church of San Vito Martire, another of Ostuni’s most important monuments, notable for its Rococo lines.

Within the historic center, in addition to the famous whitewashed houses, there are numerous stately palaces, such as Palazzo Zevallos, a Baroque-style residence of the Neapolitan feudal lords who ruled the city for nearly two centuries.

Rising 20 meters above Piazza LibertĂ  is the Spire of St. Oronzo, a central meeting point for the people of Ostuni.

A few kilometers from the city is the sanctuary dedicated to the saint, built in the 17th century near a cave where he had sought refuge.

The Sea

The sea is about 15 kilometers from Ostuni and offers a wide variety of beaches, from sandy shores to rocky coastlines.

What to Visit in the Surroundings

Ceglie Messapica

The most important historic center to visit near Ostuni is Ceglie Messapica (12 km). The ancient heart of this Apulian village is one of the most picturesque in the region, also thanks to the considerable number of monuments and medieval artworks present. What makes Ceglie Messapica so charming is the scenic mosaic of the area, where stretches of olive groves are dotted with farmhouses, country estates, and trulli.

Cisternino

Cisternino (17.4 km) is one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Puglia and among the closest towns to Ostuni. Its historic center is a fine example of traditional architecture, alongside other notable buildings such as the Palazzo del Governatore, Palazzo Vescovile, Palazzo Amati, Palazzo Lagravinese, Palazzo Devitofranceschi, and the Capece Tower. Cisternino is also famous for its “Fornelli” butcher shops, where you can enjoy meat cooked directly on site.

Alberobello

In the heart of the Itria Valley is a town unique in the world, known as “the capital of the trulli.” Alberobello is a picturesque agricultural town in Puglia that attracts visitors from all over the world, drawn by the typical stone buildings that make up the great architectural heritage of this fairytale-like village.

Locorotondo
The historic center of Locorotondo is perhaps one of the most picturesque and charming you can visit, starting with its shape, which, as the name suggests, is indeed a “round place.” The old town is made up of labyrinthine concentric alleys and stone buildings topped with the charming sloping roofs called “cummerse”, constructed using the same types of stones as the trulli, known as “chiancarelle.”

Mesagne

Of ancient origins, inhabited in pre-Roman times by the Messapi, Mesagne offers numerous traces of its history. Its distinctive feature is the historic center with lanes and narrow streets that unfold, forming a true “Stone Heart.” Indeed, the structure of the old town, seen from above, takes the shape of a heart. It is in the ancient center that the large Baroque squares open up, which, especially in summer, host festivals, parties, theatrical performances, and traditional folk dances. One immediately notices the elegance of the architecture and the numerous Marian churches, both in the historic center and along the city walls, as well as the ancient entrance gates of the 15th-century walls. Mesagne is also home to numerous restaurants and trattorias, filling the narrow streets of the historic center with intoxicating aromas, offering a unique experience to all who wish to savor traditional Salento cuisine.

Polignano a Mano

Forty-six kilometers from the center of Ostuni, Polignano a Mare is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, thanks to its sea, stone houses built on cliffs overlooking the water, its panoramic terraces, and its charming historic center.

Monopoli

A small town forty kilometers from the center of Ostuni, known not only for its cultural and architectural value but also for its beautiful sea and long sandy beaches. Recently, in Monopoli, about two kilometers from the coast, a coral reef was also discovered.

Grotte di Castellana

A journey 70 meters deep among stalactites and stalagmites to remember forever.
www.grottedicastellana.it

Porto Cesareo

In the southern part of Puglia, in Salento, a must-visit is the Baroque city of Lecce, the long sandy beaches of Ugento known as “The Maldives of Salento,” the Caribbean-like beaches, and the lively coast of Gallipoli with its vibrant nightlife.

Mare

Il mare dista circa 15 chilometri da Ostuni e si propone in una grande diversitĂ  di spiagge, dalla sabbia agli scogli.
