#我好叫 Ostuni, the white city in southern Italy 🇮🇹Enjoy the sunshine and pure leisure... Ostuni💛, located in the Puglia region, has a very holiday atmosphere against the backdrop of sunny and blue skies. The town is built on a hill. The houses, arches and alleys are all dominated by white, earning it the nickname "la città Bianca", the "White City". The town is not big and there are not many attractions, but the city center is full of small unique shops selling all kinds of fine products. If you like to collect small things, you can spend half a day shopping there. I really like the quietness and simplicity of Ostuni. I want to go there again. #I'm so hung up #Overseas Travel #I Really Want to Travel #Italy #I'm so hung up

#mynovgetaway Ostuni is a city in Italy’s Apulia region that's known for its whitewashed old town. Ostuni Cathedral combines Gothic, Romanesque and Byzantine elements, while the arched Porta San Demetrio is one of 2 remaining medieval gates. The Civic Museum and Archaeological Park houses Ostuni 1, the skeleton of a woman from Paleolithic times. Northwest of town is the Santuario di Sant’Oronzo complex, with a triumphal arch. The region around Ostuni has been inhabited since the Stone Age. The town is reputed to have been originally established by the Messapii, a pre-classic tribe, and destroyed by Hannibal during the Punic Wars. It was then re-built by the Greeks, the name Ostuni deriving from the Greek Astu néon ("new town"). Sacked after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, in 996 AD the town became part of the Norman County of Lecce .The Normans built their medieval town around the summit of the hill (229 m), with a castle (only remains can be seen) and city walls with four gates. From 1300 to 1463 it was part of the Principality of Taranto and from 1507 (together with what is now the frazione of Villanova and Grottaglie) passed to Isabella, Duchess of Bari, wife of Gian Galeazzo Sforza, Duke of Milan. Under Isabella's rule, Ostuni thrived during the Italian Renaissance. Isabella protected humanists and people of art and letters, including bishop Giovanni Bovio. She died in 1524 and Ostuni passed as a dowry to her daughter Bona Sforza, wife-to-be of Sigismund I of Poland, King of Poland. During Bona Sforza's government, Ostuni continued to enjoy a stable rule. In 1539 she had towers built along all the shoreline as protection against anticipated attacks from Turks who controlled the Balkans. These towers (still extant, including Pozzella Tower, the Pylon, Villanova and others), were garrisoned and communicated using fiery beacons.

Nestled on a hill in Italy's Puglia region, Ostuni is a charming town filled with stunning white buildings, winding cobblestone streets, and amazing views of the Adriatic Sea. Often called "La Città Bianca" (The White City), walking through Ostuni feels like stepping into a beautiful postcard. Take your time exploring the narrow alleys, finding hidden plazas, and enjoying the lively mood of this sunny town. Be sure to visit the impressive Ostuni Cathedral, which features a beautiful Gothic design and a lovely rose window. You can also enjoy breathtaking views from the highest points in the area. Whether you're sipping coffee in a cozy café, browsing for unique local crafts, or just soaking in the beautiful scenery, Ostuni is a place that will truly capture your heart. ✨ *Travel Tip:* To make the most of your visit, try to come in the early morning or late afternoon. This way, you can avoid the heat and crowds, and watch the town glow in the warm sunlight. #Ostuni #Puglia #ItalyTravel #WhiteCity #HiddenGems #TravelGoals #Wanderlust #celebrateit

Ostuni It is an ancient hilltop city in the hinterland of the Puglia region of Italy, known as the "White City". The white houses stacked on the seaside, with traces of vicissitudes of time, interpret the romantic style under the bright sunshine of southern Italy. The Ostuni area has been inhabited since the Stone Age, was destroyed by Hannibal during the Punic Wars, and was later rebuilt by the Greeks, who probably gave Ostuni its white style.

#EuropeTrip The Puglia region of Italy is dotted with several pure white towns that are unique to the coast! Ostuni is one of the recommended cities. If you go in the summer, the pink bougainvillea flowers will bloom and it will be very beautiful. The city itself is not that large, so you can go around the whole city in 30 minutes! Charter a taxi and go around many cities in Puglia! Location: Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 19/21,72017,Ostuni #ItalyTrip #Puglia #PugliaRegion #ostuni

Ostuni, a white town you must visit when traveling to the southern Italian heel! The town is not that big, so you can tour it on foot. After taking a walk and looking around the town, how about stopping by the hottest bar in Ostuni, “Borgo Antico Bistrot”, for a cocktail? 📍 Borgo Anrico bistrot Via Fina, 8, 72017 Ostuni BR, Italie #EuropeanTravel#ItalyTravel

#OverseasTravel In the southern Italian town of Ostuni, known as the City of White, walk to the outskirts of the ancient city and you will see the bright white city wall Cinta Muraria di Ostuni. The city walls have been restored – repainted – so they can remain white even after all these years. There is also a large, wide road outside the city walls, where visitors can walk along the path outside the city walls, and on the way they will see some small cars similar to Tuk Tuk, picking up tourists for excursions. It is the most representative of Ostuni’s landscape and is a must-visit spot for tourists. 📍 Cinta Muraria di Ostuni #Italian travel #Europe travel #overseas travel

As part of a larger tour I made across Puglia a couple years ago, I had to stop by Ostuni. Ostuni is a unique town that resembles a bright cap rising up right from the flat plains near the southern coast of Italy. Its whitewashed defensive walls and houses in the old town with many winding streets, steps and beautifully decorated, colorful window frames can make you think you're somewhere in Greece. Also known as “The White City”, because of the white lime tones of its historic center, Ostuni stands on a 600-feet hill overlooking the nearby Adriatic coastline and I must say that Mediterranean vibes ooze from every corner and every alley. You could definitely spend an entire morning or afternoon wandering around and cherishing the slow life of Apulian people, making pasta or putting laundry out to dry. Details of its ancient past, baroque and medieval, can be found everywhere across the city in churches and old palaces. Night life is vibrant with tons of places where you can eat, enjoy a gelato or sip a cocktail. #italy #puglia #apulia #roadtrip #italytravel #italybeauties #mediterranean #awesomepic
