Cisternino

⭐ 9.3

White village, gentle living, and the soul of the Itria Valley.

Cisternino’s name is said to come from the Latin Cisturnium. Roman settlers established themselves here as early as the 1st century BC, and a papal bull from 1180 mentions it as a casale dependent on Monopoli until 1806. In the center, look for the Torre di Porta Grande, a Norman-Swabian tower about 17 m high that served as the main gate. If you enjoy walking or cycling, the Monti Comunali woods (about 400 ha) and the Ciclovia dell’Acqua, a 10.9 km path along the aqueduct, are very close. On September 8, the Fiera della Bomminella continues an agricultural fair attested since the Aragonese era.

À PROPOS DE Cisternino

Cisternino is a hilltop village in the Itria Valley, renowned for its perfectly preserved historic center, whitewashed houses, and flower-filled balconies. Quieter than its neighbors, the town offers an authentic and relaxing atmosphere.

The ancient heart can be explored on foot, amidst narrow streets, staircases, small squares, and open panoramas of the trulli countryside. Cisternino is ideal for a peaceful break, a stroll, or a typical meal in the center.

Cisternino’s name is said to come from the Latin Cisturnium. Roman settlers established themselves here as early as the 1st century BC, and a papal bull from 1180 mentions it as a casale dependent on Monopoli until 1806. In the center, look for the Torre di Porta Grande, a Norman-Swabian tower about 17 m high that served as the main gate. If you enjoy walking or cycling, the Monti Comunali woods (about 400 ha) and the Ciclovia dell’Acqua, a 10.9 km path along the aqueduct, are very close. On September 8, the Fiera della Bomminella continues an agricultural fair attested since the Aragonese era.
