Alberobello
Alberobello looks like a picture from a fairytale. The historical center has a great concentration of "trulli" and has been declared an international monument. Trulli are beehive-shaped houses that were built in the 13th century. Their whitewashed limestone walls and conical fieldstone roofs utilize the materials in such a way that mortar isn't needed to keep the pieces together. Here you will see people making ceramics according to the way it used to be done some 500 years ago. | Book this City | Foggia
Foggia is a city in Apulia's northernmost province of Capitanata, also known as the granary of Italy. Due to its tragic history marked by both an earthquake in the 1700's as well as extensive allied bombing during WWII, Foggia has little to offer in terms of the historic attractions one would expect of an Italian city. Nonetheless, Foggia makes for a good base for exploring the nearby attractions of Lucera and Troia or the Gargano Peninsula. | Book this City | Lecce
Also known as the 'Florence of the South', Lecce is situated in Southern Italy, region of Apulia, Lecce province. Geographically, Lecces lies in the middle of the Salento Peninsula and is best known for its unique style of baroque architecture, which bears its name - barocco leccese. Although its history goes back to pre-Roman times, Lecce's fine-grained yellow limestone buildings set the city apart from its neighbors. | Book this City | Manfredonia
Manfredonia is situated on the coast, facing the south of Monte Gargano. The best time to visit is autumn, when you can enjoy the colors of the Umbra Forest. At Lesina and Varano, you'll find salt lakes where you can enjoy swimming and watersports in the mild climate and calm waters. The main sights are historic monuments - Byzantine, Romanesque, Norman, and medieval. In the church of San Domenico, the chapel of the Maddalena contains old paintings of the 14th century. | Book this City | Martina Franca
Martina Franca is a charming, ancient city on the hills of Puglia, with Moorish flavor. This town is still part of the trulli district. Trulli are beehive-shaped houses that were built in the 13th century. The main attraction of the city is the splendid historical center built in Baroque style with monumental churches and beautiful squares. The core of the city from the Middle Ages makes the visiting trip worthwhile.
| Book this City | Monte Sant `Angelo
In the beautiful Umbra Forest, 10 miles north of Manfredonia, the site of Monte Sant`Angelo, standing on a spur, offers panoramic views of the surrounding terrain. The most important sight of Monte Sant`Angelo is the Sanctuary of Monte Sant`Angelo, built in the 13th century by Charles I of Anjou. Another attraction is the church of Santa Maria Maggiore (11th-12th centuries) has a façade with blind arcades and a baldachin portal with sculpted frames. The walls have Byzantine-style frescoes. | Book this City | Taranto
Taranto is an important military and commercial port in Apulia, Southern Italy, thought to be founded by the ancient Spartans, who used to call it Taras. Seafood is this town's claim for fame, as its strategic location, on a peninsula bordering the seas of Piccolo and Grande make it easy to be awash in the region's (some say even Italy's) best shellfish. | Book this City |
