Ostuni the white town

The urban identity of Ostuni resides in its ancient village, "La Terra", so defined by the Ostunes. Unmistakable agglomeration that stands out on the highest hill of the urban territory: painted only of white and characterized by a multiplication of planes, of alleys and ladders, of little streets that cross arches and small squares, of cubicular dwellings, often dug in the rock. The lime-painted houses and the peculiar topography have earned her fairy-tale epithets, such as White City, Queen of Olives and City Crib. Reached the highest part you can admire the beauty of the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace.
