Get around Polignano a Mare

Features Get around Polignano a Mare

Dip into this spectacularly positioned small town if you can.
Located on the S16 coastal road, Polignano a Mare is built on the edge of a craggy ravine pockmarked with caves.
The town is thought to be one of the most important ancient settlements in Apulia and was later inhabited by successive invaders ranging from Huns to Normans.
Visit the caves and crowd out in the atmospheric "centro storico".
There are several baroque churches, an imposing Norman monastery and the medieval Porta Grande, which was the only access to the historic centre until the 18th century.
You can still see the holes that activated the heavy draw-bridge and the openings from where boiling oil was poured onto any unwelcome visitors to town.
An unforgettable view and experience.
