Getting married in Puglia<\/strong> between the provinces of Bari, Brindisi, Lecce and Foggia and the villages, means immersing yourself in places rich in history, art, beautiful landscapes, culture and a breathtaking sea. These places represent some of the most fascinating destinations for Easter vacations or in view of the good season. In Apulia there are \"little jewels\" that meet between the coast and the inland and that will make your vacations in Apulia really complete.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1. THE MAGIC OF LOCOROTONDO AND ITS \"CUMMERSE\"<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The village of Locorotondo, whose name derives from the Latin \"lucus rotundus\", is located on a hill of Val d'Itria, represented by a group of houses that form a circular agglomerate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The foundation dates back to around the year 1000 and its beauty lies in the narrow streets, whitewashed and ancient, but also in its many churches, traditions that live on in the patronal festivals and festivals. The cummerse are the characteristic roofs of the houses with two slopes finished with tiles, which enhance the architectural value.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The mother church of San Giorgio stands out with its neoclassical bell tower. Another church that I recommend you to visit is that of Madonna della Greca, in Romanesque style and with a beautiful rose window in the center. The area where Locorotondo rises is also called \"Murgia dei Trulli\" and one in particular you can admire in the historic center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is the oldest trullo in the village and dates back to '500 and is located in the district Marziolla. A unique naturalistic view of the Itria Valley can be seen by walking along via Nardelli. Among the most suggestive events in Locorotondo do not miss the representation of the Passion of Christ at Easter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
2. ALBEROBELLO. WEDDING IN APULIA AMONG THE TRULLI<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In Val d'Itria, but in the province of Bari, is Alberobello universally known for its particular cone-shaped buildings, which refer to the ancient custom of peasants to build their homes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The peculiarity of these houses is their being built completely dry, with the roof composed of the typical \"chiancole\". This allowed the inhabitants not to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Naples, because the houses so would have been \"temporary\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Alberobello is a World Heritage Site since '96 and the largest trullo is the \"Sovereign\", the only one with 2 floors, inside of which was set up a museum. The largest agglomeration of fifteen trulli communicating with each other you will find in the area of Casa Pezzolla.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
They are the oldest in Alberobello because they date back to the 18th century. A walk through the streets of Alberobello will immerse you in a suggestive dimension, where there are small stores, stores and places where you can taste the delicacies of the typical cuisine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lama Monachile is a stretch of sea as well as the most beautiful area of the village, with the most coveted beach nestled between 2 rock walls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Polignano is crossed by the ancient Via Traiana, one of the most romantic places if you want to take a walk in the evening as the Bridge of the two seafronts, which offers a panoramic view of the sea for sure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There are several churches in the village and the most important is the one dedicated to the medical saints Cosma and Damiano. In front of the coast you can admire the \"Scoglio dell'Eremita\", linked to legendary stories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
4. OTRANTO. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF SALENTO<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Otranto has always been the \"gateway to the East\" and for this reason it is one of the most beautiful places where you could spend your vacations in Puglia. It can be considered one of the most beautiful places of Salento, with its historic center that stands on a peninsula connected by an ancient bridge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The paved streets, the stores, the small restaurants, make Otranto a quiet place, where you can bathe with the enchanting sea of Salento. You will be amazed by the mosaic in the majestic Norman cathedral.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The area has always been rich in olive groves and gave a lot of work to those who were engaged in the \"trappiti\", so much so that the season extended from October to March. The millstones were pulled by donkeys and only in the historical center of Presicce you can visit eight underground oil mills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You can also visit the museum of rural civilization and stop in front of the noble palaces, including the Ducal, the Villati and the Alberti of '600.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
At about 7 km from Presicce you will find a renamed beach, called Maldive del Salento, which corresponds to the famous beach of Pescoluse, with crystal clear waters and a Caribbean scenery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
