Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Alberobello
Alberobello It is read through its singular forms of urban planning, with an alternation of streets, courtyards and volumes that invites you to look lower than the overall views. Each turning point reveals the relationship between housing, circulation and texture of the stone. A passage too fast does not show the essential.
Place
Ostuni
In Ostuni, whitewashed facades and sharp light make up a contrasting scene, between shopping streets and more intimate passages. The identity of the place comes from the transitions between highly exposed and cool areas, which give a very clear material reading of the city. The winning exploration is done at the time of contrasts.
Place
Martina Franca
Martina Franca reveals a bright baroque, more discreet than Lecce, in a maze of white alleys, wrought iron balconies and carved gates. The city is savored by successive details, between noble palaces, small churches and squares where the shade makes the stone almost fresh.
Place
Cisternino
Cisternino The stone, door and window details become legible when you alternate up and down. The place is not limited to its general image; it is understood in the microgrammar of its secondary arteries. The stone, door and window details are easily readable when you go up and down.
