Cisternino Private Tour: a truly authentic Apulian village
Overview
Start your guided tour from Piazza Garibaldi, the heart of Cisternino, an ideal starting point to explore the village. Facing the square stands the Church of Saint Nicola, also known as the Mother Church, built in the 12th century on the remains of an earlier church.
Outside, admire the simple façade, the decorated portal, and the bell gable. Inside, a single nave with wooden trusses, 18th-century frescoes, finely carved stone details, and a richly decorated Baroque altar reflect the town’s deep religious history.
Continue to the Norman-Swabian Tower, a medieval symbol of the village with defensive features and thick walls, then reach a panoramic viewpoint over the Itria Valley with trulli, dry-stone walls, and ancient olive groves.
Walk through alleys and small squares to the Clock Tower, an elegant civic landmark with battlements and a historic clock.
End your tour enjoying local cafés, traditional restaurants, artisan shops, discovering the authentic atmosphere of Cisternino.
