FRANCAVILLA FONTANA is a commercial and historical town with almost 37,000 inhabitants. It has pretty “centro storico” (old town), a castle, and a number of churches, palazzi and medieval “porte” - the original entrances to the walled area of the town. The name Francavilla Fontana originates from the words "Franca" (tax-free), "villa" (town) and "Fontana" related to a vision of the Virgin Mary in a lake witnessed by a 14th century prince hunting in the area, who hence declared it a tax-free haven. At Easter time there is a dramatic costumed procession, in September a medieval costumed procession“Il Corteo” (celebrating medieval times in Francavilla Fontana), and at Christmas a live "Nativity Village ” open to visitors who can sample ancient traditional foods. Every Saturday there is a very large open market.
OSTUNI, often referred to as “La Città Bianca” (“The White City”), is an architectural gem and one of the most sort-after locations in Puglia. Draped across 3 hills, it boasts stunning sea views and is located just 8km from pristine beaches. The “centro storico” (“old town”) is a medieval citadel built on the top of a hill and still fortified with the ancient walls characterised by white painted buildings and a warren of narrow stone paved streets built around a majestic 15 th Century Cathedral. It's most famous festival is held in August, celebrating the town's patron saint “Sant Oronzo”, a lavish event with a procession of horsemen in elaborate red-and-white uniforms. Ostuni has a number of stylish bars, excellent restaurants, and a stroll up in the “centro storico” makes it one of our top recommendations for a pleasant evening out.
