The Puglia regionIn accordance with its historical role as a great crossroads for many different cultures, Apulia is a treasure-house of art and culture. The region could be described as one great archaeological site, with its dolmens, its traces of forgotten cities, and abandoned medieval villages. Here you will find esquisitely refined relics from the Hellenistic and Magna Graecia civilizations, particularly the superb golden artifacts of Taranto; the purity of the Cathedrals; the bizarre and inextricable confusion that emerges from the facade of houses and churches in Lecce, the Baroque town. This is a fascinating tour inside one of the most charming parts of Italy. Click on links on the left and start your tour.

The coast of the Gargano and of the Salento near Otranto are high and
rocky, while the coastal section of the Murgia and some parts of the
peninsula of Salento are rocky, yet low. Wide stretches of sand can be
found in some parts of the Salento, north of the Gargano, along the Gulf
of Taranto, and in the Gulf of Manfredonia. |
