Carovigno

⭐ 8.4

Between a medieval castle and olive groves, right at the gateway to the Adriatic coast.

The old town, known as Rione Terra, is a fortified village flanked by four towers and two main gates, the Brindisi gate and the Ostuni gate. At the table, try piddica, a crown-shaped Easter cake with a hard-boiled egg in the center, or gnummarieddi, liver rolls stuffed with pecorino, traditionally eaten the Saturday after Easter. Along the coast, 16th-century watchtowers like Torre Santa Sabina still stand guard over the shore. For nature lovers, the Santa Sabina pine forests are perfect for a picnic.

À PROPOS DE Carovigno

Carovigno is a town in the province of Brindisi, located between the Itria Valley hinterland and the Adriatic coast. Its historic center retains an authentic atmosphere, dominated by a well-preserved medieval castle.

The town is also known for its proximity to the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve and for its landscape of ancient olive trees. Carovigno is an ideal base for combining cultural visits, nature, and beaches.

The old town, known as Rione Terra, is a fortified village flanked by four towers and two main gates, the Brindisi gate and the Ostuni gate. At the table, try piddica, a crown-shaped Easter cake with a hard-boiled egg in the center, or gnummarieddi, liver rolls stuffed with pecorino, traditionally eaten the Saturday after Easter. Along the coast, 16th-century watchtowers like Torre Santa Sabina still stand guard over the shore. For nature lovers, the Santa Sabina pine forests are perfect for a picnic.
