stony dirt road with a steep slope. Not for beginners.

Distinguishing features: height 128 cm, circular base 38 cm, conical shape, complete with cap and water collection tray, entirely made of cast iron, intermittent-jet faucet with internal brass mechanism, the fruit of the ingenuity of the men who created the Apulian Aqueduct, still handcrafted today. We're talking about the symbol of the Apulian Aqueduct, the historic fountain known to many squares in Apulia and southern Italy, which brought the first healthy public water to Apulia and which, even today, represents the undisputed icon of this epochal social achievement.

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.
