Castro is a pleasant non-tourist historic centre in a dominant position at the top of a hill, overlooking a turquoise blue sea. The massive walls of the Castle that gives name to the little town are all scattered with... light blue bell flowers! The Castle is a mighty fortress dating back to the times of Angị's kingdom, but probably built on a preceding Byzantine or Norman defensive structure. It has a quadrangular plant with four towers, three quadrangular and a cylindrical one and at present is undergoing restoration. One wonders what ever will all that small towns be able to do with all these monuments, so massive and so difficult to maintain...
In front of the Castle there is a wide piazza with a belvedere overlooking the sea, flanked by pleasant buildings of the beginning of XX century, the benches are all occupied by chattering people. The main street leads to the smaller square of the church, a nice example of local Romanesque, always made of the beautiful light limestone.
The neat small side streets are flanked by light low buildings, with a light stone paving, and generally end on a terrace overlooking the sea.
Puglia is Italy's boot heel, its Southeastern most region.
If you have already toured the northern part of Italy and are looking for something equally fascinating, completely different and much less crowded, this is a wonderful area to consider. It offers at least one excellent archeological museum, a host of cathedrals dating back to the 10th century, several deserted - and thus highly atmospheric - Greek and Roman ruins, a gleaming necklace of lively fishing villages, one of Europe's largest forests, a chain of medieval hill towns, and some of the very cleanest beaches and water in the Mediterranean. It also has its own subspecies of architecture, called barocco leccese. Characterized by extremely ornate carvings that cover the entire surface of churches and palazzi, its apex is reached in the delighttful little city of Lecce.
There is one other attraction that you will see only in Apulia, and that is Trulli (singular, “Trullo”). Whitewashed cones made of stones held together without mortar, they are visible in almost every wheat field and olive grove, where they serve as miniature barns. But they are at their most picturesque when clustered together in the hundreds, to form a town. This is Alberobello, and it's a wonderful site you will never forget.
The region is served by direct flights to the region's two main airports at Bari and Brindisi.
