Locorotondo

Overview

Locorotondo is nestled in the Itria valley and its evocative name anticipates its conformation. From the various vantage points, you can enjoy the typical rural landscape characterised by 'casedde', masserie and small trulli.

In the historical centre, organised with concentric lanes, the low houses with pointed roofs and whitewashed walls (the cummerse, originally to fight the sun and the plague) have become over time the very symbol of the village. Entering through the Porta Napoli gate, between open spaces and houses, you come to the Palazzo Comunale (early 18th century) and then Palazzo Morelli, with elegant Baroque balconies. The heart of the village is the mother church of S. Giorgio, dating back to the late 18th century, while the church of Santa Maria la Greca is of Roman-Gothic inspiration and features a splendid rose window.

The typical products and dishes are strongly linked to the local tradition: the white wine Locorotondo D.O.C. and oil, orecchiette pasta with turnip tops and mashed broad beans with wild chicory.
