In Apulia You can enjoy the sun, the sea and the art. Here the art finds its best expression in the multiform shapes created by the skilful hands of the stonecutters who gave the Apulian stone an identity, that same stone which makes the soil red and fruitful and which, many times has become shelter for hundreds people.
When You speak about Apulian baroque, the thought immediately runs to the Salentine peninsula which is rich in this elegant art: the churches of Lecce and the palaces of Copertino and Nardò can be taken as best examples of it.
The Apulian Baroque is not limited to the Salentine territory but it is widespread in the whole territory of the region. Interesting traces of this precious art can be found in Francavilla Fontana, Oria and Mesagne in the province of Brindisi and also in the main town, Bari, which preserves the most impressive Romanic Cathedral of the region but also two of the most famous baroque monuments: the Palace of Sedile and the Archiepiscopal Palace.
In the district of Bari, You'll visit Monopoli, Putignano and Conversano; then we'll move to Martina Franca in the district of Taranto: with its elegant and refined it can be considered the princess of Rococò and it bears the comparison with the big Art Cities of Apulia.
