Welcome to one of my favourite towns so far, Martina Franca! Founded in the 10th century by refugees from the Taranto area fleeing the Saracens invasion, it lies pittoresque on top of the San Martino hills, the highest ones in this area.

When you enter the town center through one of the huge baroque gates you´ll find yourself in other time period. Beautiful baroque palazzi, narrow alleys and the piazzas, where the older (and younger) gentlemen of the town gather and probably talk for hours (like more or less everywhere else in Italy).  Just wander around, get lost and enjoy all those beautiful details everywhere…
