Ostuni

⭐ 9.8

Whitewashed town, sunlit alleys and panoramic views

Ostuni has been inhabited for a very long time: in 1991, the skeleton of a young pregnant woman, more than 25,000 years old, was discovered in the Santa Maria di Agnano cave. The first urban core was created by the Messapians, probably in the 7th century BC, and the town became a bishopric in 876. According to tradition, the lime on the facades was also used to disinfect homes during plague years. At the table, you’ll find fave e cicorie, orecchiette with cime di rapa, and a focaccia topped with mozzarella—best enjoyed with an Ostuni DOC.

À PROPOS D’Ostuni

Ostuni is an iconic hilltop town in Puglia, known as the “Città Bianca” for its whitewashed houses. Its historic center, built like a labyrinth on a hill, offers narrow lanes, stairways, arches, and viewpoints over the olive-grove countryside and, on clear days, all the way to the Adriatic Sea.

The town is best explored entirely on foot and wins you over with its Mediterranean atmosphere, lively squares, panoramas, and architectural heritage dominated by the cathedral. Ostuni is ideal for a relaxed visit, mixing strolling, photography, and terrace breaks.

Ostuni has been inhabited for a very long time: in 1991, the skeleton of a young pregnant woman, more than 25,000 years old, was discovered in the Santa Maria di Agnano cave. The first urban core was created by the Messapians, probably in the 7th century BC, and the town became a bishopric in 876. According to tradition, the lime on the facades was also used to disinfect homes during plague years.
