A stroll along the seafront in the center of the Villanova marina

A church dating back to 1304, built by the Conventual Fathers Minor, who cared for it for over five centuries, the church of San Francesco, following the first suppression of the religious orders, was handed over to the Archconfraternity of the Immaculate Conception, which still manages it today.

In 1278 the walls of Villanova were built, and about 20 years later the castle was built by the Angevins, who took over the domination of Ostuni from the Swabian-Normans, who were responsible for the intensification of olive cultivation. From surviving documents, demonstrating its strategic importance, it appears that around the 15th century the castle was a fully active defensive structure. In fact, the city of Ostuni under Aragonese domination, thanks also to the castle and the small port of Villanova, managed to maintain the status of a state city, therefore free from feudal duties. Due to the various destructions over time, little remains of the original 14th-century construction. Currently the castle is made up of three bodies that act as square towers with a sloped base. Around the building, at the height of the first floor, runs a tubular torus and from the roof of the building rises a turret modeled on the prototype of a lighthouse.

it is a tourist port protected by two piers: the eastern pier 70 m long with quayside and bollards and the western pier 280 m long. Inside the dock there are some docks reserved for pleasure boats

You should definitely visit the small, narrow streets off the beaten track.

The houses integrated into the fortification walls are unique to Ostuni. A walk along the city walls is a must.

The church was originally built in the Romanesque style, then altered in the Gothic style and finally completely renovated in 1615 and completely redesigned in the Baroque style with painting and other restoration work in the second half of the 18th century.
