Fasano
Framed by a charming countryside clothed in ancient olive groves, Fasano is a window on the Adriatic, dotted with spectacular rocky outcrops and hidden sandy bays. White is the main colour of its historic town centre, locally known as U’mbracchie, a brilliant colour which traditionally offered respite from summertime heat. Fasano brims with fascinating sights: arches, portals and narrow streets in white limestone, tiny chapels such as that of Santa Maria della Grazia or larger churches such as Maria Santissima del Rosario. Its beauty culminates in the famous, blinding white of Piazza Ciaia, framed by stately buildings including the sumptuous Palazzo del Balì, the Great Clock and the ancient convent known as Portici delle Teresiane. Another hallmark of Fasano are the historic ‘masserie’ which dot its countryside: ancient farmhouses adding to the romantic, bucolic atmosphere of this idyllic spot.
