Ostuni is an incredible site and a must-see on a vacation to Puglia, situated on top of a hill and encircled by sturdy defensive walls that separated centuries-old olive trees from groups of whitewashed buildings.

The most distinguishing aspect of Ostuni, however, is not so much ancient structures, but its white buildings instead, which are also the reason for the city’s nickname, The White City. Lime wash was initially employed to brighten the dark and labyrinthine medieval alleyways, but it became a matter of life or death in the late 1700s when it was utilized to sanitize the streets and limit the plague’s ravages.
