Area Description

White, almost dazzling, Cisternino is situated on the top of a hill between the Itria Valley and the Adriatic coast. The historic centre is very beautiful and well kept, typical of an ancient rural community dated from the VII Centruy. Very impressive is the church "Madre" raising on the ruins of an ancient crypt, the sancutary of Madonna d´Ibernia and the Tower of "Porta Grande" a Norman construction used as the doorway to the medieval town. The first inhabitants of Cisternino were the monks from Basilea, who settled not far from the ruins of the pre-Romanesque town of "Sturnium", which still keeps sort of funeral monuments and dolmen. Cisternino was for a long time in the posession of the Monopoli bishop´s revenue, then became feud of some Monopoli nobles and after the 1500 was conquered by the Spanish. The astonisching territory rich in green with scattered Trulli and Masserie becomes a natural scenario for the popular events and folkoloristic festivals.
