Ostuni is another italian city
located in southern Italy, in Puglia.
It is rather a small town, built on top
of a hill, still fortified by the ancient walls and
at the same time is really charming.
Interesting is the fact that
almost all the buildings are white (it gives an unusual
effect), for this reason Ostuni is called
“La Città Bianca” = “The White Town”.
There aren't a lot of
monuments in Ostuni, but nevertheless you can visit Cathedral and the
Bishop's Palace, some palaces of local aristocratic families, or see
some baroque-style churches. All these buildings are typical for
this south part of Italy and show italian culture in some way.
The column (Colonna di
Sant'Oronzo) is a symbol of the city (20.75 m high)
During the summer, it is
really popular destination for tourists from all over the world.
People arrive here to enjoy good weather, food and breathtaking views. Ostuni is considered to be the city with the cleanest sea (is
situated about 8 km from the coast).
Great city, it looks very cool from a distance :)
ReplyDeleteIt could be very interesting to see this city whole covered by snow.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, It seems to be impossible. It's hard to see the snow in this area.
