info@pugliaprivatetour.comIn addition to the city tour, we highly recommend the visit of a cantina. The old town is circular and perched on the top of a hill. It‘s a whitewashed maze of little lanes lined with historical buildings, some of which retain baroque archways and interesting architectural details. You can find trulli houses outside Locorotondo. The area is also known for another unusual type of building: the cummerse. These are houses with pointed gable roofs – typical of this area. You‘ll see whitewashed examples of these in Locorotondo‘s tightly-packed old town. It is a pretty centre, with flower pots ornamenting external stone staircases and balconies. Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, at the top of the hill is the nearest point of attraction to a busy hub in the old town. Opposite to the church, there is a little park with views over the below countryside. One of the most notable churches is the attractive Romanesque Chiesa della Madonna della Greca, dated to the twelfth or thirteenth century, characterized by a central rose window. A panoramic street encircles part of the hilltop town centre, and offers great views over the Itria Valley.
