Palazzo Morelli di Locorotondo

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in 1819, the Palazzo Morelli di Locorotondo is a treasure trove of architectural testimonies that connect the present with the city's royal past.
The Palazzo Morelli di Locorotondo, built in 1819, a few steps from the Municipal Library, is a refined example of bourgeois architecture.
In 1870 the building was renovated in some parts, softening its architectural appearance by superimposing a small circular aedicule that once formed one of the smaller bell towers next to the dome of what is now the Mother Church.
On the main façade of the building stands the magnificent, richly decorated portal on which stand out the family coat of arms and a mask of good fortune.. Also noteworthy and still well preserved are the magnificent balconies that support the characteristic wrought iron railing with breast of goose, a particular feature of many Baroque buildings in southern Italy.
Crossing the front door opens a graceful courtyard where, around the external staircase, you can see a hierarchical distribution of spaces, typical of Dominican homes.

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Maria S.S. Addolorata is located on the west side of the fascinating old town of Locorotondo. Coming from the train station, it offers beautiful access to the historic old town. Before or after, the view from the nearby garden terrace is definitely worth it.

Historic Center of Locorotondo

Highlight • Historical Site

Locorotondo owes its name to the shape of the first settlement dating back to the year one thousand, when the peasants built their houses side by side, expanding gradually from the center with a circular shape. Even today this feature can be found in the plan of the old town. Locorotondo is located at the southern limit of the Murgia plateau where it slopes down into the verdant Valle d'Itria, a green area between the Adriatic and the Ionian Seas. The characteristic whitewashed houses make Locorotondo one of the famous "White Cities" of Puglia together with Ostuni, Martina Franca and Cisternino to name a few.
