Things to see in Locorotondo

Locorotondo is a town in the province of Bari in the Italian region of Apulia. Locorotondo is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy"). It has been awarded the Orange Flag of the Touring Club of Italy due to the harmony of its shapes and the accessibility of the old town. It is an intricate network of little streets lined with old buildings and it is known for its typical houses called "Le Cummerse", which have a regular geometric shape and a sloping roof made of two different layers of limestone slabs. These dwellings have nowadays been renovated and offered to visitors as hotels.

Mother Church of San Giorgio Megalomartire. From the 18th century, built between 1790 and 1825, consecrated on July 13, 1828.

There is a crypt where catechesis meetings are held and minor statues are preserved, including the Assumption. Rectory Church of the Madonna della Greca, Largo Madonna della Greca. The first documentary reference dates back to 1520, even if its more remote origins are evident; at the end of the nineteenth century it was the seat of the Confraternity of San Roco. Rectory Church of San Rocco. Church from 1668, inside the main statue of the patron saint San Rocco is venerated.

The beauty of the historic centre is also constituted by a labyrinth of white alleys, jealously guarded by their inhabitants.
