LISTEN TO THE FOOTSTEPS
The elegant star vaults and around you lime as white as sand. Buff stone, like that of the valley roads. The reddish hues of the cave rock, like those of the soil.
Last, but not least, the scents of Locorotondo tradition and in the sunset, chats on the terraces of 1783 – Dimora d’Epoca, where animals used to gather from the garden and where fragrant laundry was pegged out on drying racks.

Origins of the name
U Curdùnn
Before acquiring the name of Locorotondo (U Curdùnn, in local dialect), the town was called Casale San Giorgio, in honour of its patron saint. Later it became Casale Rotondo, then Luogorotondo, and its current name dates back to 1834.
This place name – toponym – refers to its uniquely striking trait, the actual shape of the historic centre, with the white houses built as a series of concentric rings.
