The Piazzetta Martiri delle Foibe is the first panoramic view of Ostuni's old town when traveling south along Corso Vittorio Emanuele from Lecce. It's a simple spot where you can enjoy a beautiful view that extends from the town of Ostuni to the sea. It's a great place for a break, whether on foot or by bike, as it's served by a nearby fountain from the Apulian aqueduct.

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.

Serranova is a small agricultural village, about 9 km from Carovigno and not far from the sea; it is made up of a few houses, inhabited both in summer and winter. The Castle of Serranova was the object of several alienations from feudal lord to feudal lord: from Ottavio Serra to Scipione Costaguto in 1653, from him to the Castaldo family, then to Giulio di Sangro in 1684, finally in 1702 it came into the hands of the baron Scipione Granafei [unsourced] [1]; the Granafei family gave prestige to that territory, renowned for its extension and for the significant number of centuries-old olive trees that it included. In 1742, the fiefdom and the Castle of Serranova came to Michele Imperiali, prince of Francavilla Fontana and lord of Carovigno. With the death of Michele Imperiali, who had no successor, the last devolution to the Treasury took place in 1782.

The church has a beautiful rose window and the interior is baroque.

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.

It is also very lively and turbulent here due to the many cafés and restaurants.
