One of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Locorotondo was built on a circular plan with narrow concentric streets and white terraced houses.
The city, in fact, in addition to being known for its wines, is characterized by its round-shaped historic center.
This owes its beauty to its labyrinth of white alleys, with houses ending in unusual sloping roofs called "Cummerse."
The city was founded around 1000 AD on the site of an ancient unfortified farmhouse under the jurisdiction of the Benedictine monastery of S. Stefano in Monopoli.
The presence of various feudal lords for 500 years increased the population, the subdivision, and the construction of the walls and the castle.
In addition to being one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Locorotondo has obtained the Orange Flag of the Italian Touring Club.
