Once again I would like to take you to Puglia to let you discover its intense colors, warmth and flavors. This time it is a small town located just over 30 km from Bari, much loved by Bari and beyond. It is Polignano a Mare who is not wrongly also called the “Pearl of the Adriatic”.

Just look at the location of the town that rises above the rocks of the Adriatic Sea, rich in caves and caverns inhabited in prehistory. Polignano is tricolor: the white houses stand out against the backdrop of the incredibly blue sea and the blue sky.

Added to this is the red of geraniums that grow everywhere. Holidays in Polignano will surely allow you to spend a romantic stay on the sea that is the center of the life of Polignano, an ancient seaside village.

In fact, many streets of the beautiful and well-preserved historic center end up on the terraces overlooking the Adriatic Sea offering an unrepeatable and unique panorama. It also enchants the historic center itself, animated especially in summer.

On its alleys, full of craft shops, bars, ice cream parlors and various clubs, there are small houses and courtyards whitewashed by lime and charming terraces. Its name is definitely deserved.

Castello Angioino

The construction of the castle was ordered by Charles I of Anjou between 1278 and 1281 in order to protect the coast from pirate attacks. The building has the form of a stellar polygon. Access to the castle is through a bridge. Inside there is a large hall, shaped like a trapeze, transformed today into a conference room. Charles I wanted the building to be a palace and home for the royal family. In the 16th and 17th centuries, within the structure, literary academies and a theater were housed.
