Unfortunately I didn't go in, there was a funeral 🫣😔

Locorotondo, a little gem

A new observation point, extraordinary in size and significance, has enriched the evocative landscape of Cisternino. On Sunday, November 16, 2025, the Monte Pizzuto lookout welcomed the installation of a giant panoramic bench, part of the prestigious Big Bench Community Project (BBCP), offering a breathtaking view of the plain of monumental olive trees. The project, made possible thanks to the commitment of the Meraviglie di Puglia association, takes on an even deeper meaning: the bench was dedicated to the memory of Domenico Caroli, who would have celebrated his forty-second birthday on the day of its inauguration. At the foot of the bench, a sign has also been placed inviting people to pay attention to those around them, to listen even for just a few minutes, perhaps even while sitting on the giant bench. -- A giant bench overlooking the Itria Valley: supporting sustainable tourism https://www.brindisireport.it/attualita/cisternino-panchina-gigante-affaccia--valle-d-itria-sostegno-turismo-sostenibile.html © BrindisiReport

Walking on the “chianche” made shiny by trampling, you enter the dense urban fabric of medieval imprint that has remained almost intact. You can follow the road that leads to Porta Piccola, through the airy Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III with its beautiful Clock Tower. Or you can dive into the authentic atmospheres of the four neighborhoods of “Bère Vécchie”, “Scheledd”, “UPantène”, “L’ìsule”, which with the outermost one, called “u Bùrie”, make up the small maze of streets and open spaces where whitewashed houses alternate with alleys adorned with geraniums, stairways, loggias and arches.

From this observation point you can admire the Adriatic Sea and the Plain of the Ancient Olive Trees.

The Figazzano bridge, dating back to 1910-1915, is located on the cycle path of the Apulian Aqueduct. It is a dirt road about 2 meters wide and about 200 meters long, bordered laterally by walls with iron railings. Crossing it you can enjoy the view of the cultivated fields and typical Trulli below.

The stone wall on the right side of the building is very beautiful

There's also a nice restaurant right next door ;-)
