Nardò is a town and comune in the southern Italian region of Apulia, in the province of Lecce. In 2014, it had a population of 20,766. Traces of human presence in the area dates from Palaeolithic times. The settlement was founded by the Messapi around the year 1000 BC. The Romans conquered it in 269 BC and built the Via Traiana through it. After the fall of the Western Empire it was under the Byzantines and the Lombards. In 1055 the Normans captured Nardò. Their heirs were ousted by the Angevines in 1266. In 1497 the Aragonese gave it to Andrea Matteo Acquaviva, whose son Belisario was the first Duke of Nardò, and promoted the Renaissance in the city.

Places to see in ( Macerata - Italy )
Macerata is a city and comune in central Italy, the county seat of the province of Macerata in the Marche region. Together with the modern town, sprawling on the plain below the historic centre, it has a population of about 43,000. The historical city centre is on a hill between the Chienti and Potenza rivers. It first consisted of the Picenes city named Ricina (Helvia Recina), then, after its romanization, Recina and Helvia Recina. After the destruction of Helvia Recina by the barbarians, the inhabitants took shelter in the hills and eventually began to rebuild the city, first on the top of the hills, before descending again later and expanding. The newly rebuilt town was Macerata. It became a municipality (or comune in Italian) in August 1138.
The town counts several hamlets (frazioni) and localities: Acquesalate, Acquevive, Botonto San Giacomo, Botonto Sant'Isidoro, Cervare, Cimarella, Cincinelli, Collevario, Colleverde, Consalvi, Corneto, Helvia Recina, Isola, Madonna del Monte, Montanello, Piediripa, Sforzacosta, Valle, Vallebona, Valteia, Villa Potenza. In July and August the Sferisterio Opera Festival is held in the 2,500 seat Arena Sferisterio. It is a huge neoclassical arena erected in the 1820s as a stadium for a form of handball by the architect Ireneo Aleandri. The orchestra pit is so wide that musicians at each end cannot hear each other.
In the central Piazza della Libertà is the Loggia dei Mercanti with two-tier arcades dating from the Renaissance. There are a number of striking palazzi, mostly along Corso Matteotti, including Palazzo dei diamanti. Next to the Loggia dei Mercanti, Corso della Repubblica leads to Piazza Vittorio Veneto where, in the Palazzo Ricci, there is a modern art gallery. Another museum that is definitely worth a visit is Palazzo Buonaccorsi where you can see the amazing Eneide Hall (a gallery with paintings and frescoes from the 18th century) and the Carriages Museum. Soon the building will host the city Art Gallery with its most important artpiece, the Madonna and Child by Carlo Crivelli.
The University of Macerata was founded in 1290 and has about 13,000 students; Macerata also has an art school, two publishing houses (Liberilibri and Quodlibet), jazz clubs and the like. The Palazzo Buonaccorsi was built in 1700–1720 for Count Raimondo Buonaccorsi and his son Cardinal Simone Buonaccorsi using designs by Giovanni Battista Contini. The piano nobile is known for the Sala dell'Eneide, decorated with frescoes by Rambaldi, Dardani, Solimena, and canvases by Garzi and Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole. Just north of the town, at the Villa Potenza, lie the remains of ancient Helvia Recina, a Roman settlement destroyed by the Visigoths.
Among the churches in the town are:
Macerata Cathedral: built in Neoclassical style in 1771–1790; it has the remains of a 15th-century Gothic bell tower. The interior was designed by Cosimo Morelli.
San Claudio al Chienti: Romanesque church south of the Town. Its unusual shape is due to one church being built on the remains of another. It was built during the 14th century as war reparation to Montolmo (today's Corridonia), which defeated Macerata in a bloody and long war. San Claudio al Chienti is very close to Macerata, but it has been a frazione of Corridonia since that time.
San Filippo Neri
San Giorgio
Santa Maria della Misericordia
Santo Stefano

Places to see in ( Altamura - Italy )
Places to see in ( Altamura - Italy )
Altamura is a city and comune of Apulia, in southern Italy. It is located on one of a hill of the Murge plateau in the province of Bari, 45 kilometres southwest of Bari, close to the border with Basilicata. As of 2016, its population was 70,562. The city is known for its particular quality of bread called Pane di Altamura, which is sold in numerous other Italian cities. The 130,000-year-old calcified Altamura Man was discovered in the nearby limestone cave called grotta di Lamalunga.
The area of modern Altamura was densely inhabited in the Bronze Age (La Croce settlement and necropolis). The region contains some fifty tumuli. Between the 6th and the 3rd century BC a massive line of megalithic walls was erected, traces of which are still visible in some areas of the city. A couple of centuries after Altamura was looted by the Saracens, it started to be inhabited again as emperor Frederick II refounded the city (1232) and ordered the construction of the large Altamura Cathedral, which became one of the most venerated sanctuaries in Apulia. In 1248, under pressure from Frederick, Pope Innocent IV declared Altamura exempt from the jurisdiction of the bishop of Bari, making it a palatine church, that is the equivalent of a palace chapel.
The city is located in the south-west area of the Province of Bari, near the borders with the Province of Matera, in Basilicata. The bordering municipalities are Bitonto, Cassano delle Murge, Gravina in Puglia, Grumo Appula, Matera, Ruvo di Puglia, Santeramo in Colle and Toritto. Some 12,660 hectares (31,300 acres) of the communal territory are included in the Alta Murgia National Park.
Altamura's main landmark is the Romanesque cathedral, begun in 1232 by Frederick II and restored in 1330 and 1521–47. It is one of the four Palatine churches of Apulia,[10] the others being the cathedral of Acquaviva delle Fonti, the Basilica of San Nicola in Bari and the church of Monte Sant'Angelo sul Gargano. The construction is influenced by that of Bari, but also with strong Gothic influences typical of the time of Frederick II. The orientation of the construction was probably changed during the 14th century restoration, to which also belongs the northern portal opening on the square; a second bell tower, the altar area and the sacristy are instead from the 16th century.
Externally, the main features are the rose window, with 15 small columns radially intermingling, and the Gothic portal, set into the entrance portico standing on two stone lions. On the arch of portals are sculpted 22 panels with scenes from Jesus' life. The interior, with a nave and two aisles, has stone presepe by Altobello Persio (1587). The medieval walls, erected by Frederick II, rest upon the megalithic walls of an ancient city of unknown name. These early walls are of rough blocks of stone without mortar.
Ancient tombs with fragments of vases and terracottas have also been found, of which there is a collection at the Museo Archeologico Statale di Altamura. There are caves which have been used as primitive tombs or dwellings, and a group of some fifty tumuli near Altamura. Some thirty thousand dinosaur footprints were recently discovered in Altamura's territory contrada Pontrelli, making it a major site for the study of dinosaurs.

Porto Selvaggio: The Best Places to Go in Apulia (Puglia)
Located at The Heel of the Boot , Apulia (pulia) has long been touted as the best kept secret in Italy for travelers. And while it doesn't boast so much of the stunning architecture of Florence, refined Culture of Venice or the glitz of the Eternal City, it brings to the table something else: timeless authenticity. With it's rocky coves and seaside fish grills, Apulia is unpretentious but every bit as exciting as any of the aforementioned, and stands out as one of the great Mediterranean hideaways. If only anyone outside Italy could figure that out!
Puglia on the road, ottavo ed ultimo giorno
Amici viaggiatori !
Ultimo appuntamento con la nostra avventura in Puglia.
Ottavo giorno del nostro Puglia on the road. Iniziamo la giornata come sempre con un bel bagno ed un pò di sole, poi ci siamo diretti verso Nardò, una piccola città in provincia di Lecce, che vanta una straordinaria ricchezza di palazzi, chiese, cappelle e singoli dettagli architettonici, rendendola una delle città più importanti del barocco leccese. Subito dopo siamo arrivati a Porto Cesareo. Località molto turistica sempre della provincia di Lecce, situata sulla costa ionica della penisola salentina. Sede dell'area naturale marina protetta Porto Cesareo. Finita la visita, siamo arrivati nell'ultima tappa della nostra vacanza, la tappa n° 23, Gallipoli !Gallipoli è una cittadina sulla costa pugliese. Il centro storico, situato su un'isola al largo, ospita luoghi di culto come la Cattedrale di Sant'Agata, con la sua facciata riccamente decorata. Poco distante, la Chiesa di Santa Maria della Purità presenta un pavimento in maiolica. Pur facendo parte del Castello di Gallipoli, la Torre del Rivellino è indipendente dall'edificio principale. Dall'altra parte del ponte, sulla terraferma, si trova la Fontana Greca, risalente al Rinascimento.
Torniamo a Palermo con il cuore pieno di gioia, ribadendo che, viaggiare per il mondo è meraviglioso, ma ricordando sempre, che anche casa nostra merita l'attenzione e la curiosità di ognuno di noi.
