The sloping roofs (called cummerse<\/i><\/span>) of the small houses give the town a particular fairy-tale charm. Locorotondo offers a spectacular balcony view over the Itria Valley, with its rich territory of vineyards, drystone walls and olive groves. The historic centre is romantic and intimate, where one can wander around the narrow dazzling white streets immersed in the scent of flowers and wafts of traditional cooking.<\/p>\n From Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, the path winds along past the Town Hall (Palazzo del Comune<\/i><\/span>), now the public library, the baroque Palazzo Morelli and the main church (Chiesa Madre<\/i><\/span>). On reaching Largo Belvedere, a breathtaking view awaits, sweeping over the whole valley dotted with trulli<\/i><\/span>, from Ceglie Messapica to Martina Franca.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”2.

A labyrinth of arched narrow streets and low houses with outside steps facing hidden courtyards. From the panoramic vantage point in the public gardens, one has a wide vista of the valley with its many vineyards, olive groves and old country estates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”5.

It is impossible not to be impressed by the grandeur of the portals, the fa\u00e7ades of the numerous churches in Leccese stone crafted by master stonemasons. The splendour of the Baroque style reaches its zenith on the fa\u00e7ade of the Santa Croce Basilica and in the Cathedral square, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Italy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”7.
