Located on the hilltop of the Murge Plateau, Locorotondo is named one of the most beautiful of Italy. Visit Centro Storico Locorotondo (historic center) for amazing architecture surrounded by beautiful colorful planters of flowers, in a circular shape. In fact Locorotondo means "round place". Chiesa Madre San Giorgia (st. George the Martyr Church )is right in the center of town along with the clock tower and Morelli Palace. Chiesa della Madonna dell Greca is the oldest church in Locorotondo. Chiesa di San Nicola di Myra is a beautiful church built around 1660. It is a tiny church surrounded by houses so don't miss it!

Locorotondo stands out on the plateau of the Murge dei Trulli with the charming circular town with characteristic white houses. Among the most beautiful villages in Italy and the Orange Flag Touring Club Italiano, Locorotondo is perched on a plateau in the south-eastern area of the Murge dei Trulli, in the heart of the Itria Valley, less than 10 km from Alberobello. The same name indicates the characteristic circular shape of the ancient center of the village, built around the year 1000, consisting of a set of huts that the farmers built on top of the hill, including the typical "cummerse", houses with sloping roofs. Among the white houses of the old town, completely white, stand the bell towers of the many churches, including the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Holy Spirit, San Nicola, San Rocco and Madonna della Catena. Inside the Church of Santa Maria della Greca there is a Renaissance polyptych dedicated to the Madonna delle Rose and the sculptural group of San Giorgio a cavallo. The wine route through the Itria Valley also touches Locorotondo, home of an excellent white wine DOC. Easily accessible by car, is about 30 km from Ostuni

Locorotondo is one of Puglia's prettiest towns with a proudly conserved, easily-walkable centre and a calm, laid-back atmosphere. Its luminous white-washed walls and panoramic position recall Ostuni, the Citta' Bianca, but its location, in the middle of the Valle d'Itria, invites more comparisons with its UNESCO World Heritage Site neighbour, Alberobello. This latter is famous for its delightful trulli-speckled centre and yet, despite being just 8km down the road, Locorotondo chose to follow a completely different building route! No cone-topped cylinders here, but plenty of cummerse, narrow rectangular town houses with pointed gable roofs, strangely evocative of north European, Baltic architecture. These simple, angular buildings that predominate the centre belie the town's true shape, which, as its name implies, is "rotund", both horizontally (thanks to its circular street plan) and vertically (it hugs the contours of the curvaceous hill on which it sits). The old protective walls are traced by a perimeter road offering wonderful views over the surrounding agricultural land, a quilt of vineyards, olive groves and trulli dissected by dry-stone walls. It is no coincidence that Locorotondo is known as the "balcony of the Valle d'Itria". From the two original gates, one enters a web of streets that wind indolently up to the central piazza. The whiteness of the cummerse is interrupted only by the occasional polychrome flash of a baroque palace or a vibrantly coloured flower box. The early 19th century Church of St. George and the fine Romanesque Church of the Madonna della Greca are worth a look but monuments and churches are not the reason to visit Locorotondo: its charm lies in the collective whole rather than in its constituent parts. When you've spent an hour or so wandering the streets and are ready for lunch, try some u tridde, Locorotondo's speciality, a freshly made pasta incorporating pecorino cheese and finely-chopped parsley cut into small pieces and cooked in a wholesome turkey broth. Washed down with a glass or two of Locorotondo DOC wine from the Cantina Sociale, you'll soon be ready to continue touring the wonderful Valle d'Itria.
