The main cities of Apulia

The journey of discovery of Apulia starts from Bari, its capital. The old town, known as “Bari vecchia”, is a maze of narrow streets where folklore and tradition have a unique liveliness.

This is where the Basilica of St Nicholas stands, one of the favourite centres of the Orthodox Church in the West and a spectacular example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. Not far away, you can visit the Swabian Castle of Bari, the city's landmark building, an imposing fortress that is now a museum.

Lecce is no less great, the city of the famous and sumptuous Baroque and stone embroidery, a fundamental cultural centre of the Salento, known as “the Florence of the south”.

An icon of the region is Alberobello, a popular tourist destination thanks to its famous trulli, ancient cone-shaped dwellings dating back to the 17th century, now protected by Unesco. The beating heart of the Valle d'Itria, also known as the Valley of the Trulli, stretches between the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto and is dotted with charming whitewashed villages with a fairytale atmosphere where you can lose yourself in beauty.

Called the “White City” for the lime-covered houses that characterise the town centre, Ostuni offers a stunning view of the hill where it lies. Several times awarded for its beaches, it offers an enchanting sea.
