Discover two lesser known Valle d’Itria towns by car. Cisternino’s picturesque old town and panoramic terraces fuse well with Ceglie’s gastronomic reputation, no ferry or train needed, skipping big city traffic.
Expect 50 minutes to Cisternino, then 15 minutes to Ceglie Messapica. A private driver from Brindisi ensures you experience both the charming white village and gastronomic capital at your own pace.
First settled by the Greeks, the town was conquered by the Romans before being destroyed by Hannibal. In the 9th century, an order of Basilian monks built a Greek Orthodox monastery here, reestablishing the town. Through the Middle Ages, the town continued to grow, adding new buildings and districts as needed rather than following a civic plan. Today, this creates a twisting and winding medieval center for visitors to explore. Amongst the historic alleys, monuments abound, such as the 13th century Norman-Swabian tower, and 14th century Church of San Nicola built on the original Orthodox monastery, and the beautiful baroque Church of San Cataldo. For a uniquely local eating experience, the town is famous for its barbecuing butchers, where you choose your meat, and they’ll cook it for you on the spot.
