Ostuni:

The "White Town" seems to be constituted by a white light and to visit its historical center is an unforgettable experience: the landscape round each corner is made by blue sea. This town has kept its original and medieval structure made by little and narrow streets and the arches closed in the surrounding walls.

This is an ancient town at first inhabited by Messapi and then conquered by Romans of whom there is still some tracks. It is believed that this town was plundered by Hannibal and then rebuilt by some greek settlers (its white colour should be derived from these last)

Ostuni was elected "city of art" during 1998
