Guided Tours in Cisternino
Cisternino, a charming white village in Puglia
Private tour or for organized groups
Tour Description
An itinerary through the charming historic center of Cisternino, which, together with Martina Franca and Locorotondo, defines the territory of the Itria Valley.
A guided visit to a medieval-inspired village with houses whitened year after year with lime and protected by an ancient city wall, partially integrated into local buildings. Along the fortification circuit rises the Torre Grande, with its distinctive square shape, and the Chiesa Madre dedicated to Saint Nicholas. In the past, the main entrance to the town was through Porta Grande.
Walking through the historic center toward Porta Piccola, you reach Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, around which the four districts of ‘Borgo Vecchio’, ‘Le Scalette’, ‘Il Pantano’, and ‘L’Isola’ are arranged.
Exploring the streets of these districts allows you to discover the world of the ‘fornelli pronti’, butcher shops where you can have the meat you choose grilled on the spot. Visiting Cisternino thus becomes a journey into the most authentic flavors of the area, enjoyed at simply set tables amidst the bustle of passersby.
The final stop of the itinerary is the Belvedere of the Villa Comunale, with its benches offering an enchanting view over the Valle dei Trulli.
