Ostuni is a beautiful city located in the southern region of Puglia, Italy, also known as the "White City" due to its distinctive white-washed buildings. Perched on a hilltop, this picturesque town boasts stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Adriatic Sea.

One of the main attractions in Ostuni is the historic center, a maze of winding alleys and white-washed buildings that exude charm and character. The narrow streets are lined with artisan shops, restaurants, and cafes, where you can savor the local cuisine and sample the region's famous wines.

The Cathedral of Ostuni is another must-see attraction, located in the heart of the historic center. This 15th-century church features a stunning rose window and a beautiful baroque façade, as well as a collection of priceless works of art and religious artifacts.

Other notable landmarks in Ostuni include the Bishop's Palace, a splendid example of Renaissance architecture, and the Civic Museum, which houses an impressive collection of archaeological finds and medieval art.

Finally, a stroll along the town's defensive walls offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the Adriatic Sea. From here, you can see the olive groves and vineyards that make Puglia one of Italy's most beautiful and productive regions.

In conclusion, a visit to Ostuni is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique culture and history of Puglia, while enjoying the region's stunning landscapes, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality.
