The Valley of Itria is the lowest part of the Murge where three provinces of Apulia meet, that is Bari, Tarentum and Brindisi. Here you can rediscover the millennial history of farmers and lords. The Trulli, world UNESCO heritage and universal value, represent the passing of time and the permanency of the tradition. These are pre-historic buildings which has been preserved undamaged during thousands of years and keep the house purposes. Not only is the secularity of history highlighted by the presence of manmade buildings, but also by imposing olive trees like real sculptures given by nature. Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ceglie Messapiche are designated “The most beautiful villages in Italy”. Looking from the top of the Valley you will feel enchanted by the colours, the red of the land, the green of the nature, the white of the stone. Large oak woods and bushes surround a lot of farmhouses, which are the architectural symbol of the farmer middle-class, natural oases where you can appreciate the pleasure of the silence and the good life.
