The programme

Travel with our guide to discover Locorotondo, a completely whitewashed town on the Murge plateau. 410 meters above sea level, the circular town is surrounded by small vineyards separated by dry stone walls.
Entering the old town through the former Porta Napoli, you'll find yourself in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a square that dates back to the nineteenth century and from where you'll already glimpse the cummerse, the characteristic pointed roofs of the local houses.
You'll walk through the narrow streets of the town to see monuments including Palazzo Morelli, a well-preserved example of Apulian Baroque, the church of La Madonna della Greca, the oldest in Locorotondo, and the garden of Villa Garibaldi, a veritable green balcony that looks down upon the Itria valley.
