Cisternino

Overview

Cisternino is a town overlooking the Valle d'Itria, in the Murgia dei Trulli and tells of an identity made up of territory, nature, but also history and traditions. In the historical centre, with its characteristic white houses, you can admire the historical residences, such as the Governor's Palace, an example of the beautiful Apulian Baroque, the Amati Palace and the Ricci-Capece Palace, with its Torre del Vento, one of the town's three towers together with the Amati Tower and the Porta Grande Tower, which, with the small statue of St. Nicholas at the top, was once the main entrance to the town. But this is also a land of strong traditions, woven into the soul of the territory and its people: suggestive, in particular, is the custom whereby, still today, every Easter Monday, the population goes to the Sanctuary of the Madonna d'Ibernia, an ancient archaeological site, carrying 'u chrruchl', a cake with a propitiatory meaning that in its shape recalls prayer and blessing for new births.
