Listed among the most beautiful villages in Italy, Locorotondo is one of the famous white cities of Puglia together with Ostuni, Cisternino and Martina Franca.The etymology of the name recalls the urban structure of the village: locus rotundus, in fact, is organized on a circular plan with concentric rings on which the white and narrow streets wind, the characteristic alleys adorned with flowered and colorful balconies overlooked by the small houses that create a fairytale atmosphere all around.The typical houses of the village are called cummerse, characterized by their sloping roofs and covered with limestone slabs, the chiancarelle. The white and snowy appearance of the village gives the eyes of its visitors a sensation of purity and authenticity, of something that has resisted the impact with modernity and is still jealously guarded over time. Truly impossible to forget!Furthermore, in the maze of narrow streets that wind through the historic center of Locorotondo, ancient churches, baroque buildings and artisan workshops are hidden, contributing to the creation of breathtaking views worthy of ending up in a postcard or in your souvenir photos.
