SUGGESTED ITINERARIES
Itinerary through cathedrals and spiritual locations
This
itinerary
is one
of the
most
classic
routes
in
Apulia.
The
great
basilicas,
like San
Nicola
of Bari,
the
spectacular
cathedrals
and
churches
in Trani,
Ruvo di
Puglia,
Bitonto
and many
more
centres
that
create a
scenery
of the
Federician
art
that had
its
blossom
in the
first
half of
the 200.
The
white
stone of
the
cathedrals
in
Apulia
mix in
great
with the
blue sky
and the
brilliant
colours
of our
lands.
The
religious
buildings
also
reserve
authentic
emotions:
such as
great
architectural
works
that are
indissoluble
and
protagonist
of the
scenery.
They are
history
of the
land
they are
in, but
most off
all they
are real
works of
art: a
mix of
decore,
volume
that
follow
traditions
in
centuries.
These
examples
show the
different
tipes of
culture
that had
dominated
the land
in the
ages.
Archeological and museum itinerary
It is
hard to
reassume
in not
many
lines
the wide
archeologic
patrimony
present
in
Apulia.
The
dolmen
and the
neolitic
installations,
the
necropolis,
the
proof of
the
greek
and
local
civilty,
peucetic
and
japigian,
the
splendid
architecture
of the
romanic
cathedrals
define
the
beauty
of a
land to
explore.

The stone habitat itinerary
The
church
and the
stone
nucleus
in
Apulia,
that
date
back to
the
bizantine
denomination(
IX – XII
sec.),
gather
the
artistic
aspects
and also
the life
and
language
aspects,
the
devotional
aspects
of the
rural
communities
and most
of
all the
relations
between
East and
West.
This
route is
not very
homogeneous,
because
the
locations
are
dislocated
where
the
conformation
of the
territory
let
man dig
and
create
real
rural
village.
The Castle itinerary
The
confinant
position
of
Apulia,
made it
necessary
to build
fortificated
structures
to
defend
its
territory
creating
a great
artistic
and
architectural
patrimony,
that
assumes
the
Svevo-
Normann
features
in
synthesis
with
local
art.
Stone
that
speak of
our
thousand
year old
history
touched
by the
sun and
sea.
Apulia,overlooks
the
Adriatic
Sea has
a great
and wide
coast
that had
to be
defended
by
enemies,
invasors,
pirates,
it is
rich of
towers
that
were
used as
“watchers”
for
centuries.
Extraordinary
examplesof
defensive
buildings
are
symbol
of a
local
vitality.
Certainly
a
beatiful
vision
for
those
who want
to admir
the
beauty
of the
variety
of the
artistic
constructions.
Natural
itinerary
Land of natural and unique scenes, farms, olive landscapes, where incontaminated nature and man meet.
This route unties in the suggestive murgian territory, but also in underground territories. Infact thanks to our karst
nature the land is full of water in the depth and so it has beautiful embroideries such as the Grotte di Castellana.
Pilgrim Itinerary
The numerous
sanctuaries and
social locations
are the
preffered
destinations of
pilgrims and
faithfuls.
Behind every
sanctuary there
is a
supernatural and
miraculous event.
The Murgia's Trulli
Other
carachteristic
of Apulia are
the Trulli,
particular stone
constructions
that have an
original cone
shape; they
are situated
especially in
the Valle
D'Itria area.
These
constructions
are konwn in all
of the world for
their beauty and
singleness, they
rappresent one
of the most
extraordinary
examples of the
Iatalian
architecture.
Entering this
area very
different for
soft wavy hills
covered with
vineyards and
greeen spots of
woods, lined
stone
walls,coned
houses even the
most distracted
tourist feels
like walking
into a magic
place.
EnoGastronomic Itinerary
A warm region,
welcoming rich
of tastes and
colors, it
offers a variety
of extraordinary
different
landscapes.
The vacation
will be even
merrier thanks
to the tasty
Apulian cuisine,
simple and
fullfilling
based on a
combination
of genuine
elements of land
and sea.
