Ostuni

Ostuni is the White City par excellence — a mosaic of lime-washed houses climbing three hills with views over the largest olive grove in Europe and, on the horizon, the Adriatic. Its medieval historic centre, crowned by the magnificent Gothic-Renaissance cathedral, is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, arches, staircases, and small squares where time seems to have stood still. The surrounding countryside, dotted with masserias and centuries-old olive trees, completes a landscape that has made Ostuni one of the most sought-after international tourism destinations in Puglia and one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
