Polignano a Mare

Polignano a Mare combines pale limestone cliffs with a dense, whitewashed old town in a way that reflects its position on Apulia’s Adriatic coast. Streets in the centro storico lead to terraces above the sea, while Lama Monachile forms a narrow cove between rocky walls beneath the town. The settlement has roots in the Roman era, when the Via Traiana crossed this part of the coast. Polignano is also the birthplace of singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno, whose “Nel blu dipinto di blu” became an international Italian classic.
