“In Puglia, everything is an open-air museum.”
Pasquale and Antonino’s Top Five:
For Pasquale and Antonino, Puglia isn’t just a place to visit - it’s a way of life. Walking among ancient olive trees, exploring archaeological sites, or wandering baroque towns, the region offers an authentic beauty that’s impossible to resist.
Museo Archeologico di Egnazia
This is where it all began. Egnazia was once a key stop between Greece and Rome, and you can still see parts of the ancient city, like Roman roads and city walls. The museum explains the history of the area, but what makes it special is the chance to walk through the ruins and imagine life as it was, many centuries ago.
Museo Archeologico di Santa Scolastica, Bari
Bari’s history comes alive here. The museum, set in a monastery overlooking the sea, focuses on the Messapian civilisation that came to Puglia around the 11th century BC. It’s small, peaceful, and a great way to connect with the region’s ancient roots.
National Archaeological Museum of Taranto (MArTA)
MArTA is famous for its incredible collection from Magna Graecia, especially the “Gold of Taranto.” The jewellery is beautiful, but it’s not just about gold - it’s about understanding the artistry and skill of the people who lived here thousands of years ago. For anyone interested in history, this is a must.
The White City
Ostuni is one of those places that stays with you. The whitewashed buildings perched on the hill make it feel like a postcard, and the views over the olive groves to the Adriatic are unforgettable. The Museum of Preclassic Civilizations of the Southern Murgia here has some fascinating finds, including the Delia skeleton, one of Europe’s oldest human remains.
“Florence of the South"
Lecce is like walking through an open-air gallery. Baroque architecture is everywhere, from the Basilica di Santa Croce to the Piazza del Duomo. There’s a simple joy in just wandering the streets, where every corner has something to catch your eye.
