Puglia is the southern part of the Italian Peninsula forming the heel. The land is rich in archaeological discoveries and the greek legacy is evident in building decorations.
Puglia is also famous for its particular baroque palaces and churches , whose surfaces are covered in intricate decorations highlighted by the white limestone.
Extraordinary is the flourishing of the baroque architecture in the Salento area .
Travelling through the Salento routes means travelling through the history and the art, and in this tour we'll visit cities and villages where the baroque has its best presence.
Lecce known as the capital of the baroque style “ The Florence of Puglia” rich in incredibly beautiful monuments .
Martina Franca a lovely little town with a medieval “historical centre ” adorned with later baroque buildings.
An other pearl for example is Gallipoli . It looks like an island totally surrounded by the blue sea , connected with the dry land trough a bridge…
Puglia is a wonderful region and needs to be visit it all…
