Locorotondo

One of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Locorotondo is the heart of the Itria Valley and part of the Land of the Trulli. It stands on the top of a hill overlooking the neighboring villages (Cisternino, Fasano, Martina Franca and Alberobello) with an elegant and characteristic historic center, in a circular shape and predominantly white color. Looking at it from the valley, an amazing view is guaranteed: the typical rectangular stone houses with sloping roofs - called "cummerse" - are unique in the area. A very popular tourist destination, Locorotondo is truly vital and offers leisure activities suitable for all ages, being home to exclusive jazz and electronic music festivals during the summer. The production of an excellent wine, together with the renowned offering of good food, also make it a destination for food and wine tourism. In this city, which is among the 10 most beautiful towns in Southern Italy, numerous auteur films have been recorded, such as "Polvere di Stelle" by Alberto Sordi and "Casanova '70" by Mario Monicelli. Absolutely a must-visit, and in the Marziolla district, you can find the oldest Apulian trullo, dated 1509.
