Ostuni

The magic of Ostuni, the White City, is linked to the characteristic lime painting of the ancient village, a practice respected by the residents. In the center of the village stands the fifteenth-century Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, on which stands a large 24-rays of rare beauty. Along the Cathedral, which divides the medieval heart of the city into two, the former Carmelite Monastery is home to the Museum of Preclinical Civilizations of the Southern Murgia, where the footage of Delia, a pregnant woman lived 25,000 years ago, is exposed. In Largo Trinchera, they face the eighteenth-century buildings of the Bishop's Palace and the old Seminary, linked by the striking arch Scala. Churches and noble dwellings follow in the old town encircled by the Aragonese walls where Porta Nova and Porta San Demetrio are opened. Ostuni's agritourism, however, is dotted with masserie, many of which transformed into cozy luxury farmhouses and resorts. Among other things, Santa Caterina with the high octagonal tower at the fortified farm, Spagnulo and Cappuccini farm with its trulli.
